Folks using Amethyst with UnifiedPush: see if the version 0.90.3 that just went out has working push notifications.
We fixed a few bugs on the use of Unified Push.
It's really hard to recommend anything. It's like recommending a house. It's really up to the user to develop a relationship with the relay operator and build the trust that is needed to add the relay to their list.
Amethyst recommends a few, but it's a very centralizing action... everyone will just accept our recommendations... which is BAD.
I don't really know how to solve this.
That will just centralize in the same large relays we have today as well.
Also, the Outbox and Inbox relays should not be based on what your follows like. We can present a list to make it easier to type, but it's not about them.
It's about where you do you want to store your own notes.
In the extreme, each user should have their own personal relay in both Outbox and Inbox options.
I was thinking on building a marketplace, that helps relays offer services for each type and users can just explore options.
From a list of all available options, we can then filter by WoT and offer some preferences trogether with the limitations of each pitch.
Somebody mentioned the idea of putting the bible on Nostr with a list of events, one for each verse. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgspr3mhxue69uhksmmyd33x7epwvdhhyctrd3jjuar0dak8xtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxnhwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mf0ss9zgs?
The zone must be the same color of the background of the QR code. Since the background is black, the zone is black as well.
I think the issue is that some QR readers did not implement reading with inverted colors (which is in the starndard)
Considering adding native Tor into Amethyst just to go around relay per-connection limitations.
Then we could keep all accounts connected and downloading their events at all times, while using a separate exit IP for each nostr filter.
There wouldn't need to be a global account switcher. Users could have 100s of accounts working together.
Plus, huge privacy gains.
I have 100s of what should have been separate subs packed into 10 subs right now.
Max number of filters, max number of kinds in each filter, max number of follows (usually 2k), max number of etags, etc. I am hitting several limits at the same time now.
I also need AUTH for separate accounts in the same connection, which doesn't seem feasible without a massive change on how Nostr filters work.
The hard part is convincing every relay to do a 10x on their sub limits.
Many are still forcing Max 10-12 subs.
Still doesn't solve the auth problem. So, it might not be worth doing it and going straight into Tor.
There is no other plan though. I don't think I have an option at this point. Relay software is still in the dark ages.
Plus, they would never know anyway.
No, but I am testing them all again. Let's hope stability has improved.
Also, before I was looking mostly at the privacy gains. For this, we could just run Tor in parallel with the regular connection. If it works, it goes there, if not, just uses the regular stuff.
Also, I need to be able to control several sessions with different exit nodes without much latency. Let's see how that goes.
If the limits we see today are real (I doubt... operators are just using the defaults), they will collapse regardless.
I am just anticipating the issue.
Only until you realize every manufacturer locks you in. It's not about a avoiding Google specifically, it's about avoiding the manufacturers control over you and your data.
Relays are just temporary storage to make sure notes get to the destination even if people are offline. They are not here to protect you or your data. Especially free ones. That's not their goal in the system.
I tend to think forks are good, even when they don't work or don't implement the things people want. I think this is the case here. Maybe what we need to find is another dev that can join both projects and keep things up to date without much fuzz.
Periodic reminder to setup your DM Inbox relays on Amethyst.
If you don't have it setup, you are probably missing DMs from people that don't happen to use the same relays as you.
You should choose up to 3 relays:
1. If you want push notifications, one of them must be public, like nos.lol
2. If you want to make sure only you can see your DMs, inbox.nostr.com and auth.nostr1.com are good options. Our Push Notification server can't even see your DMs if you use this services. So, add at least one public relay if you want to see DM notifications.
