 both of those are not a good fix for public relays, but they are needed

 public relays need to die, and they will, this is just the beginning of the attacks that the broader internet is bringing

replyguy was just a foreshadow, someone who wants to actually make it clear to nostr users how vulnerable the current relay and client software actually is

just wait until the real trouble comes

but keep up your retarded commie bullshit, go on then

 I don’t disagree with this & your point on business accounts is valid as hell. 
NoSTR won’t go anywhere far in its current form.   And I’m ok with that. I kind of like this weird place.

 Yeah, I've already warned people that I've downloaded Locust. Got no response. Heh heh.

 I mean, it's easier to load-test Nostr than most other systems because you don't have to create user logins and you can write straight to the data store.

You can just use NAK to auto-generate nsecs and go for it. Could generate hundreds of them on your laptop and have them all running a Jenkins script, asynchronously. With a good graphic card, probably thousands of them.

Not even just writing to the relays, but fetching, clicking buttons, typing, etc. So, you can load-test the apps, as well, and take down websites.

 Sooner or later a fun easy target is struck... Lulz can be a thing. The complacency is bad.

 It's actually low-key humiliating that nobody bothered, until now. We weren't interesting enough to attack. 😅
