 Who on here contributes to #strfry? I have a question. #asknostr 
 I have a decent grasp of it, i did a deep dive and created nostrdb based on its design 
 I’m looking for a relay implementation I can run that supports NIP-13 proof-of-work enforcement. I like how easy strfry is to run, and that it doesn’t require a separate database. But I don’t know how to configure it for NIP-13. 
 Could easily add that to noteguard as a strfry write policy 
 I don’t know what that means.

 I will write a quick policy for pow 
 Did you end up writing a PoW policy? No pressure, just asking.

I’m currently riding the struggle bus just setting up vanilla strfry. 
 I had it on my reminders, just been a crazy past week. I’ll do it now before I don’t get to it again 
 Don’t worry about it, brother! I gave up on strfry anyway. Couldn’t get it to build on my VPS. Copying binaries failed for some lib reason.

Going with nostream for now. 
 Thanks, two questions:

1. Does this run as part of the strfry executable? Or as a separate process?

2. Is there a way to allow-list kinds? My use case only needs a short list of custom kind numbers and I want to block everything else (special purpose relay) 
 Its a separate process that strfry spawns when you configure it in settings

I don’t have kind whitelist yet but would be trivial 
 That’s OK, I think strfry may just have that capability baked in. In any case, PoW is more important.
