Nostr can survive a DDoS attack. This is by design. We have many, many clients and relays. Bullshit AF.
Not to mention.... all the mobile clients are up. Fuck ton of redundancies.
Yep. Amethyst working great for me.
I find it interesting that it happened at more or less the same time as the bots arriving.
It's probably related.
Wonder if itโs individual/group or nation based?
I would assume the volume of increased note loading via the HNY bots on clients and their indexers is causing a resource issue not an actual DDoS attack. But that's just a guess.
Absolutely - RESILIENCY + CHAOS is STRENGTH of NOSTR i hearing about some portal are down at moment since tech follow goen to new year parties for now guess is CLOUD OUTAGE somehwere many LND BTICOIND NOSTR relays are also down at moment
Is all this 'happy new' year garbage part of it?
Truly amazing and exceptional with #nostr
I'm only seeing them coming from nos_lol. That's a pretty good case for paid and private relays. I don't know what limits are in place, but it seems like bots could run an absolute train on an individual free relay.
Yeah, paid relays and rate limits are the easy way to combat spam.
