Yeah, that absolutely has to be a spam/bot attack of some sorts. Traffic trends among trusted accounts shows zero impact at all from the surge, which wouldn’t happen if it were organic, even in the slightest part. https://image.nostr.build/5fe5b1a9c0620d590d3f8508ffb6583948f388c8a0c9886f9430072cf6675949.jpg https://image.nostr.build/840dc1550c4c56304813cdee893deb7186aeb4b8df6fc332edd1941f5d34a56d.jpg
So as far as i understand trusted pubkeys must have "a nip05 from a good provider". Does this leave custom domain nip05's (like my own) out of the trusted pubkey list? https://trust.nostr.band/
Interesting that it's increasing yeah.. I still have some free relays that these bots love to use. I will eventually either delete the relays or set them to paid mode. hotrightnow.nostr1.com for example. I think the bots are just trying to remind us that free relays aren't free or something... ¯\(◉‿◉)/.
that does seem like a suspicious spike
