Well, I just picked up a start9 unit and have everything synced (bitcoin core, electrum server, etc) and I’d like to implement the nostr rs relay to perhaps create a couple of my own relays. Trying to do it now but having a bit of difficulty understanding it. I think many people experience the same thing (I don’t have developer experience). Mind assisting? 

 You should reach out to @cloud fodder and use an instance of relay.tools 

 Awesome will do. 
Also, any progress in the btcpay setup that we last spoke about regarding photo prints and etc? 

 Focusing on curating some imagery first I’ll probably have a gallery ready a couple weeks, unfortunately got a lot of stuff on my plate at the moment from fiat mines and household chores. 

 Would love to help if you’d like with the curation side of things 

 Yah thanks I’ll share the gallery and try and get some opinions on what should be printed. 

Also curious if I should do editions of X or 1 of 1s . 

My preference is 1 of 1s but that makes each piece more expensive overall and I think prices a lot of people out, but also makes each piece that much more special and I could do some more affordable images by making them smaller (like 8x8s instead of 40x40s) 

 Please do! 

I’d recommend doing 1’s of the larger sizes. Do runs of the smaller sizes 

 Its pretty simple once the service is up and running you can connect either via lan or tor to your relay 

 Would you mind helping me out with a step by step if you have a moment? I’m not familiar with setting up LAN or tor 

 Sure where are you at now? 

 As in what I have completed steps wise? Start9 installed, bitcoin core fully synced and did some other connections with electrum server with sparrow. But other than that, working on btcpay server and nostr relay. 

 Ok that sounds already pretty good, now with the nostr relay once downloaded from the marketplace you gotta fire it up which means at that point you are able to connect your start 9 relay to your nostr client by using the information provided within properties 

 Yep, it is downloaded, same with LND and etc. The thing I am confused in how to do is the following info: 
    
1. Ensure your computer or phone is running Tor: https://docs.start9.com/latest/guides/device-guides/ (THIS LINK IS NOT WORKING)

2. In Nostr Properties, copy your Nostr Relay Websocket URL (e.g. ws://<address>.onion), and paste it into your Nostr client relay list.

*Note: there is also a Local (e.g. wss://<address>.local) URL is included in Properties. We do not recommend using this interface except to sanity check that your relay working in certain cases. No one will be able to access your .local URL except you and anyone else connected to the same LAN. 

 Ok clear so maybe you gotta tell me from where do you want to connect from eg phone (android or ios) or macOS or windows desktop? 

 Or what else did you mean you are having difficulty with? Have you setup LND and alby hub 

 This is a great disadvantage when comparing to other websites that hosted cyberhornets before nostr. 

Reddit - 2013 - 2016 was the best in my opinion before the karma started to be gamed.

Twitter was never good, was only a solution after theymos started banning all BSV/contrary movements.

So it’s a lot to think about like: how to improve dev experience to create useful aggregators and make it help we all see what better we can do together.

The way nostr is now make me feel we should go back to IRC #freenode. 

 Aggregators, today: Primal caching service, nostr.band 

 Damus (iOS) here, I don’t even know what those websites are. 

Also I’m not hired by elon/jack team to learn about it.

Hopes for the best. 

 Try adding relay.nostr.band to your relay list to test how an aggregator changes your experience 

 Ohhh that’s good. Thank you so much now I’ve counting aggregators. 🤩 

 There’s also some way to customize global ?
