If your client does not use Outbox model yet, please go to https://metadata.nostr.com/, click relays and set it up.

Without that setting, Outbox clients cannot find your posts. Your follows won't find you.

Tips:
- You only need a maximum of 4 relays in that list.
- Mark as "Write" the relays that have all content written and signed by you.
- Mark as "Read" the public relays that you want your follows to use when sending notifications to you.

That's all you need to do.


If I use Amber for my remote signing, how do I log in? This is my number 1 pain point at the moment, that I can't use any nostr web app on my phone. 😥


Nostr evolves so fast i cant get the track of it. Every time i come here a new thing i need to set up... 🫣
Feels kinda the days when i started using linux. As soon as i learned something, a new thing was introduced. 😂

I still have not learned how to use ’systemctl’. Maybe i am waiting for the succesor of init.d, init.ai 🤭


Slackware init scripts was the best 😁


A backup I just downloaded (a json file) from Nostr Profile Manager, does this contain secret data? Can I store this json file unencrypted in the the cloud? Anyone knows this? Thank you


Cool! I just backed up my metadata.

How do you pick relays? Mine are read and write. Is that a problem? What happens if you pick more than four?


It just becomes way too much for your followers. They just need a couple to pull your events from. Connecting to lots of relays for each user is terrible for them.


:sadyes:


If I have a list of relays that each have setting on whether to post/fetch/search, why do we suddenly need an inbox, and outbox, a DM relay, a search relay and so forth? Why can't the software just use the existing list?


Because they dont do the same thing. If you want privacy, you want to use the DM relay list, otherwise all of your DM travel through public relays.

Each section has its own benefits. The old main list is a dumb way of using nostr.


You should be able to create an app and get a bunker url from Amber to paste on the site's login. But push notifications are a bit iffi, so it might require you to change Amber's settings to keep running and get notifications from the relay connection.


I still don't understand the point of this. 😅


Holy mother of! I did not know it could do that 🤯


Ugh! I can't get it to work and I have no idea how to diagnose. Can nostr:nprofile1qqs827g8dkd07zjvlhh60csytujgd3l9mz7x807xk3fewge7rwlukxgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9usjfpck can help?

I do notice this error in the logs but I was able to load the url in the browser fine, so not sure what's up there.

Using Graphene OS and ntfy.

Great tips! Nostr users need more relay advices, as this is the most crucial and not understood setting


you have follows? damn.


you have followers? damn.


Thanks for this post, I had been wanting to update my relays but forgetting the exact steps to do it.

Do you know how we can properly use the cryptocurrency_address field on metadata.nostr.com ?


Outbox model just saves bandwidth & maybe thus improves reliability on low quality internet connections


I believe it's just the public data of your kind-0 entry, not your nsec or anything like that


Since nobody else has replied, I'll ask: have you tried Firefox Mobile or another Android web browser compatible with nos2x or nos2x-fox extensions?


Maybe you are right. I have opened the JSON file, and I cannot find my private key. However, I do see signatures and other items that I do not understand. That was the reason for my question. However, I took the gamble and backed it up to the cloud already without encryption...

I'm sure now, definitely no private key. I don't understand much about the signatures either but the signatures are always public on the nostr relays too as I understand it. Good of you to open up the file and check it out 🤙


Does Amethyst do this? I dont see an outbox relay


Yeah, go to the relay settings. First section is public outbox, second is public inbox. It's the same list, but broken in two.


How does it do that?


That definitely needs more explanation.
Also the low numbers of relays that are sugested.
The LN and networks in general are clearly scaling better with more nodes.
So such things need a wider and appropriate research article, to test and explain why all the sudden basic network facts do not apply in a specific network.


Can we put "local" and "private" relays section into one?
And also the "general" and "recomended" into one?


I just did an update froman VERY old version. It was not too difficult to fill my list with defaults but why do I need to do such a complex thing in order for it to work at all?
I'd prefer to do it the dumb way over have it broken.

I'm not even sure anyone can read me.


Hi Sattler, I can read you. Is Waldorf doing well?


Thanks, it doesn't seem as bad as it look first.
I'm not sure, haven't seen him in a while.
Guess he's still trapped in the fiat system.


I can see you've been on here for a while. It's definitely improved since you first joined, I agree that the different relays are confusing.


Try force closing the app and opening it again.
Try enabling tor
If none of that works change the notification type to connect directly to the relays instead of using the push server


I tried all combinations, I just tried again after restarting the app.

I don't get any feedback. The website I am trying to access is https://metadata.nostr.com/,


It worked for me. Are you using the default relay?

Uses fewer relays I guess, idk


Yeah wss://relay.nsec.app and Amber version v1.3.0-free


Are you using tor or a VPN? Can you try connecting to a different network?


I tried disconnecting VPN (mulvad), and changing from WIFI to 5g connection.

Does this mean that it is having issues connecting to the relay?

You'd never guess what it was 🤦

wow, i didn't even know users could disable that permission 🤔


I know you can on graphene


GrapheneOS baby!

It asks you if you want to enable internet when you first install any app. I must have figured this app didn't need internet way back when.

And it works with #Amethtyst without internet... how awesome is that!


Oh, I forgot to check if I can ask for that permission when it's disabled


So the problem that this proposal "solves" is relays not setting high enough prices for the bandwidth we use?


But this is the broadband internet with gbps of connections and we will have even more bandwidth.
This is not nostr:nprofile1qqsve20jy666kqtw4ez5xxa3xywtdekmuqmvnadek0uhs77rqknnc0gpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcrl7j26 which is limited in bandwidth.
