Anyone who is not so much familiar with the Bitcoin #lightning and want to read an easy read. #Megalithic is one of the biggest routing node on the lightning network and they have a nice non-technical easy to understand explainers on their page.

That's true but you can always undo this by saying, you blew it all  trading shitcoins. Have one shitcoin ready on your mind which went to 0. Say you had 420 times more of you initial value but then couldn't get out because of liquidity and all went south from there now worth 0

This way you do 2 things.

1.) You will free yourself of finger pointing.

2.) You help people avoiding reckless shitcoin trading.


Easy, but it will cost you more.

Have you already pushed the send btn 😄

I just stumbled upon one service that needs Nostr for sure. You know these #marketing giveaway where you need to share their giveaway or tasks, on as much socials as you can to get more entry points...

https://gleam.io/

One recent [example](https://gleam.io/JMvCi/creality-cloud-ultimate-giveaway) from #creality

Look at the bottom how many options they have to log in. Nostr is not one of them.


That's what I'm using for albyHub.

Ouch 😟


If you can't move sats out is because Lightning have inbound liquidity and outbound liquidity. If you have let's say 171.000 sats and your inbound liquidity is 50.000 sats and outbound 121.000, that means you can only send 121.000 sat and receive max 50.000.

Lightning is a bit technical but when you leatn basics it's really easy especially tools like albyhub. They really make software simple enough for everyone to use.


I know we have #fountain but I will never stop using #podcastadict . It's just too customizable and feature rich and no other podcast app can offer me that. It's not for everyone but someone like me who likes customisation it's perfect.

https://podcastaddict.com/app

I'm not expecting complete rebuild but just a tiny feature like posting on Nostr automaticly podcasts we've listened or review.


I believe the price of their hosting is so expensive for a reason. This reason might be to force people to learn about selfhost. #albyHub is great and the documentation is even greater.
Take your time and learn how to do it. The resources are there and if you hit a barrier 🚧 their support team is absolutely amazing. Or simply ask nostr for guidance. There's still time.

The point of Bitcoin is self sovereignity and other stuff.


:catRAVE:


It can be done yes but with years and years of daily hourly posting on nostr. To train usable ai you need lots of data samples.

To achieve what exactly? Having a double as a bot or to search trough your history?

Bitcoin can make you stop eating junk food!

Everytime I get this rush on the road to stop and buy some junk food or a coffee to go, I have a system to think about the price in Satoshis which quickly calm down my rush and then I rather buy $12 worth of Bitcoin.

Disclaimer: Don't buy Bitcoin while driving. I always stop safely on the side of the road, turning the hazard lights on and only then I'm buying Bitcoin. Safety first!

It all looks legit to me. And I have the 2fa button in my security settings.

Can't you open the app and go to settings and check for yourself if the 2FA option is there. 🤷🏻♂


My honest opinion on these clocks is following.

You don't need it.

You look at your smartphone 4h per day anyway!


Will be worth it. You'll see 🧘🏻


You take that back or I will tell everyone that is not.


You can live without giving your Gens to some database which eventually be sold to third-party


What KYC? I paid with BTC and shipped it to grandma's address 🤷🏻 She always have cold feet so Avalon nano 3 is a must for her and not break her minimum pension.


We’re trying to do something really different from Bluesky and that’s ok. We need to define and grow nostr for what it is and get out of the horse race.


They are quite active on [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/strikebtc)

Go write ✍🏻 them a suggestion ;)


Bittr is awesome don't get me wrong but when you talk about KYC process... KYC isn't needed because it's well known to them who owns the bank account from which money came from 🤷🏻


Nope

Strike is custodial solution. Not your keys, not your coins. The good thing about strike is they are encouraging you to withdraw to your own cold wallet.

I use it for DCA (dollar cost averaging) and not long ago they introduced a neat feature "auto withdrawals". When you reach certain amount (0.01₿ is minimum) the funds will be sent to your cold storage without fees.

For me, KYC is not a biggie. I love airports 🪂 especially over water.


Bitcoin is not volatile. That’s it, that’s the note.


Yes we 💯 agree. The owner itself is a state owned asset.
Elon wouldn't be in this position without enormous government subsidies.


It's true it can replace 10 Bitaxe miners but the power consumption of #avalonNano3 is almost like 10 times greater.

In countries with high electricity cost, Bitaxe is a great solution to start home Bitcoin lottery mining or using small solar grid for it.

# Hello folks,

You may have heard (or not because I’m terrible at communicating) I have been incredibly unproductive with creating laser cut art because I have been busy working with guys more intelligent and skilled than me, building Plebeian.

## What is it?

On the surface Plebeian is a P2P marketplace… but this isn’t quite true… Plebeian.Market is not the destination, it’s just a demonstration of the Plebeian app… it's going to help us move from Globalisation to Localisation in the most peaceful way possible… I will explain more about what this means as time goes by

For now it’s easy to think of Plebeian as a love child of Ebay, Wordpress, Twitter, Shopify and Telegram… it’s not normal

## Eh? What?

Localisation and a Bitcoin Standard promotes self sovereignity at the individual and community level... what is needed in this time is a Circular Economic Community Builder

Like I say, I will explain more about this as time goes by

The project actually started 4 years ago and we’ve pivoted many times as the Bitcoin layers have evolved...  This is a world of pure innovation after all and it is not for the faint hearted.

## Last Pivot

6 months ago we pivoted for the very last time to build it from scratch as 100% nostr native.

The demonstration you see at plebeian.market will be sunset into the realms of Bitcoin history

## New Solution

It's Free Open Source Software and we're starting with a GNU General Public License v3.0

You can see the new solution here:

https://staging.plebeian.market/

## Play with it

Please test it and tell us of any issues in the Telegram group here:

https://t.me/PlebeianMarket

Or if your feeling like getting more involved create an issue on GitHub:

https://github.com/PlebeianTech/plebeian.market/issues

## Eating Zee Bugz

Right now we are in the Beta testing phase and are very close to pushing it to the live site... just one last bug ser?

As always we'd love to hear your thoughts... please play with it... create a stall add a product... tinker with the Circular Economic Community Builder... what do you think?  what would you like to see?

We will eventually develop our own in app group but for now please do join the Telegram group:

https://t.me/PlebeianMarket

## Follow me on nostr

Because I deleted my twitter account yonks ago ;o)

Hi there Mill 🫂

It's always nice seeing newcomers.

I understand you about the missed choo-choo 🚂 in #Bitcoin but let me tell you one trick that helped me a lot.
Once you start focusing only on stacking sats no matter what the [Moscow time](https://satoshi.si/MoscowTime.html) is, you'll do just fine.

The perfect time was always yesterday and we can't do anything about it.
Jump onboard and only focus on securing your stack.

Ignore the rest.


I'd like to build something that has never been built before.

Where should I start?

#askNostr


It’s as if Trump’s mind is present, but his body isn’t fully his own. His tiny arms aren't moving as much 🤷🏻♂

As I dug further, I found #executiveOrder [EO13925](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/06/02/2020-12030/preventing-online-censorship) signed by Trump in 2020, aimed at preventing online censorship. This order was revoked by Democrats soon after, through [EO14029](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/05/19/2021-10691/revocation-of-certain-presidential-actions-and-technical-amendment)

While I'd like to believe this is an AI imitation (as I find Trump’s attitude difficult to support), he did seem interested in advocating for #freeSpeech. However, he also signed another executive order, [EO13899](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/12/16/2019-27217/combating-anti-semitism) which restricts criticism of Jewish individuals. How will free speech hold up today, especially with the ongoing situation in Palestine?

Let’s see how things unfold. If you don’t hear from me, then we might question the reality of "free speech".


Everything on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt nowadays. Looks like Ai creation to me because  it has been shared by the untouchable Elon, but with Trump, you never know.


I think, If Trump gets too radical on things he wants to accomplish, he might face more assassination attempts.

Free Ross, Free Tornado cash folks, free Bitcoin fog dude, free Samurai plebs and then prople can shoot at him at will as far as I'm concerned.

A follow up to my previous message.

I created this clip for you to listen where @realUrbanHacker 🐦 talks about why every Bitcoiner should run a tor relay.
https://fountain.fm/clip/WwiUQbJGz9sOrNYn5B2e

And he is right! We should give back and help run the Tor network!
The least we can do, is running a [snowflake](https://snowflake.torproject.org/) ❄ when we charge our smartphones, when we are sleeping or have our computers turned on. It's so stupidly easy.

Install [Orbot](https://guardianproject.info/apps/org.torproject.android/) on your smartphone.
Click the kindness button 🤍 and specify when you want your phone to run a Snowflake ❄.
This will help people circumnavigate the censorship.

If you want to listen more about [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) in general, they talked about it in two episodes.

Part 1 - History and basics
https://fountain.fm/episode/NUAgdJagb4qzilRvxJzL

Part 2 - Running a Tor relay

I'm listening a #watchmenPrivacy podcast where they touched the topic about the dDos attack on internetArchive and It makes me think about the time of the attack.

When you look about the history facts online where do you go? [Internet Archive](https://archive.org) of course.

I also used it to better understand the history of #Palestine. Now you probably know where I'm going with this.

This attack is either sponsored by copyright gang or it is a state sponsored attack to hide or at least makes harder to find historical facts.

We need to find user friendly solution to make #internetArchive decentralized.

If there's enough people ( like 146000 of them) willing to share at least 1TB of disk space, we can make Internet archive fully distributed with one centralized copy on the Internet Archive and other spread across the globe.

Periodic reminder to keep a max of 3 relays in your outbox and inbox relay lists.

There are too many people with 20+ relays in there. You are forcing all of your followers to connect to 20+ relays to see your posts (outbox) or 20 + relays to see your replies, likes, zaps to your posts (inbox). Zaps to you are massive.

And I am willing to bet many relays in your list don't even receive your posts. Which is even more wasteful for your followers.


Any chance we gonna see haven in  #StartOS any time soon?


If you consider that monthly subscription to enabling service for SOS satelite dedicated devices, comes from 20 and up to 250 USD, their investment will be covered in no time.

Because I want to get as much satoshis per 1 unit of fiat as possible.

So, they are basically paying infront and miners have the obligation to give them Bitcoin mined in the future?

We all charge for our time but things change when we aren't payed enough.

Your customer service is really amazing I must say that. Answers to our questions in your forum are answered quickly and professionaly and I understand these technicians needs to be compensated somehow.

You (as a person) have also been long enough on the internet to know that one-time payments solutions rarely played out well on the long run. I've seen this and experienced that a few times. Services went completely away or they switched to subscription models or they've been bought out by VCs and I always turn back to subscription models and drastic changes  VCs are forcing.

That's why I started to have doubts and have that annoying question in my head what if.

All I wish is, #DIY community not being left on the side and locked out from accessing certain features in the future.

Something to debate about among #start9 #DIY community.

Because I think there will be quite harsh response from the #diy comunity.

Yes I am late to the party. My #start9 DIY server is not even 1 week old and I'm already disappointed.


And then Simplex :)

Can you at least make the Telegram group community driven not associated with Start? Please don't delete it. There's still a lot of answers that can be found in this group.


I checked the site and saw they ship to Germany.
Your best bet is, to find a trusted #czechPleb here on Nostr who will forward you the item or use the forwarding posting  📯 service www.forward2me.com

1.) Order and pay the item
2.) Add your forward2me address in Germany
3.)Then you'll pay some fee to forward2me
And that's it.

I use similar service ( https://planetexpress.com ) when buying something in US and need it to be delivered to EU.


Knots is censoring what's possible on Bitcoin. Core is not going anywhere and allows what's  possible on Bitcoin.


Uh thanks for the mention. I just started downloading Core. At 5% rn. I'm just gonna stop and use knots. DATUM requires it and there's no other option 🤷🏻♀

UPDATE:
We can use Bitcoin core with DATUM. The mismatching in the start9 is apparently some bug. Not sure if was already resolved but it surely be fixed in V0.4.0 of #start9

Using #askNostr will give you wider visibility  of your questions. Use it. It helps a lot.

Now the answer you've been waiting for soo long 😄

In the Bitcoin blockchain, it’s not possible to set a hard limit on size (like capping it at 5GB) because of its decentralized and immutable nature. However, there are ways to manage and reduce the storage.

**Pruning**
Bitcoin Core offers a pruning mode where it deletes old block data, keeping only the most recent blocks required for current operations. This can reduce storage significantly, but a pruned node won’t be able to serve the full history to other nodes.
pruned node is a lighter, storage-efficient option suitable if you don’t need to provide the full blockchain history to others. For most individual users or smaller setups, pruning is often a practical solution.

**Lightweight Clients (SPV)**
Instead of running a full node, you can use a Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) client like [electrum](https://electrum.org).  SPV nodes don’t store the full blockchain, just block headers, which reduces the storage requirement dramatically, but they rely on full nodes for validation.


They want to future proof your disk space. Blockchain data is getting closer to cross 1TB mark 💾

They might just join BRICS to diversify 😆

I'm not so sure the voting will be in Bitcoin favor. There are still too many old Microsoft employees pulling the strings which they only believe in dollar but I'm usually wrong about everything so, stock price could go both ways.

MSFT is always a good investment for the long run and they always pay out Dividend's.

No one will or should judge you If you invest in blue-chip stocks.


United States poked into the hornets nest.

BRICS ditching dollar for international trades is a big deal.
Hussain and Gadafi didn't have the luck to witness bthis but they were the examples.
If you are threatening Dollar, you are fucked. They were fucked.

The BRICS push to ditch the USD will unintentionally effect Bitcoin regulations. They will not allow us to go away so easy as BRICS countries are.


The more $MSFT shares you buy, the more Bitcoin can Microsoft purchase instead of you.

A look at running your own relay, and how to set up a personal relay at your own domain using HAVEN.

### Tldr

- Nostr relays help users post and read notes on the network
- Relay operators have launched a variety of relays for you to use
- You too can launch your own relay for any reason you like
- Launching your own relay gives you a lot of power in how you use Nostr
- Many relay softwares exist for you to use
- I launched a personal relay using HAVEN relay software on my VPS
- I am now more in control of saving notes, cutting spam, and protecting my privacy
- My personal relay is now hosted at relay.rodbishop.nz

### What are Nostr Relays Anyway?

When you're a user of a social network, you post and read notes from other users on the network. In a centralised network like Twitter or Instagram the company's servers receive all user's notes and relay them to other users. On Nostr, there is no single company's servers to relay messages, so instead the task is taken up by relay operators.

Anyone can be a relay operator and they can run a relay for any purpose. When you start using Nostr you will usually be connected to any one of a number of "public" relays, and be able to post and receive notes from users on the network via these.

Configuring these relays can tailor your experience somewhat–for example the client Nostrudel allows you to select from Western or Japanese relay set.

It is also possible to set up your own relay to use for your own purposes. All kinds of people have launched relays for all kinds of purposes. For example, to:

- Power your own client
- Support your community
- Run a for-profit relay business
- Relay a certain a type of content you need
- Back up your own notes, decrease spam, or increase privacy
- Curate your own social feed with your own algorithm

#### Relay instances available to connect with

Today is an interesting time in relay-ops. The evolution of the technology has inspired users to experiment with diverse types of relays tailored to various needs. As a result there are very many relay instances in operation and available to connect with.

A few sites try to collate which relays are in operation, like [nostr.info](https://nostr.info/relays/) and [xport.top](https://relays.xport.top/) and [sesseor's relay list](https://github.com/sesseor/nostr-relays-list/blob/main/relays.txt) . These lists are long (Sessor's list counted 2,500+ relays) and it's not clear to me whether it's even possible to be comprehensive as relays may join or leave the network all the time.

Broadly speaking, relays might be available for different users to use in different ways:

- A relay where anyone can post, like [relay.damus.io](http://relay.damus.io)
- A paid relay where anyone can post after payment, to cut spam, like [nostr.wine](http://nostr.wine)
- A "web of trust" relay where anyone can post if they are related to the owner's social graph, to cut spam, like [nostrelites.org](http://nostrelites.org)
- A speciality relay where a particular community can post, like [nostr.com.au](http://nostr.com.au) for #austriches (Australians)
- A relay where anyone can post just specific content, like [purplepag.es](http://purplepag.es) for user profiles only
- A team relay for your company or organisation only
- A personal relay for your own personal use

[Nostr.Band](https://stats.nostr.band/) shows which of these available relays are most popular, such as [relay.damus.io](http://relay.damus.io) and [nos.lol](nos.lol) and [eden.nostr.land](http://eden.nostr.land)

#### Relay softwares for you to launch your own

You may decide to launch you own relays, and if you do there are many different relay softwares to choose from:

- Simple, like [Bucket](https://github.com/coracle-social/bucket) (<100 lines of code)
- Widely used, like [Nostream](https://github.com/Cameri/nostream) (top ranked on Github)
- Customisable, like [Khatru](https://khatru.nostr.technology/) (a framework for customised relays)
- Specialised, like [HAVEN](https://github.com/bitvora/haven) or [Team Relay](https://github.com/bitvora/team-relay) (for personal or teams relays, based on Khartu)

You can run these on your own server, or local machine, or [phone](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine) or with a third-party host.

[Aljaz](nostr:npub1aljazgxlpnpfp7n5sunlk3dvfp72456x6nezjw4sd850q879rxqsthg9jp) provides a [great resource](https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr?tab=readme-ov-file#relays) with 45+ relay softwares to choose from.

In summary, at a high level,

- Anyone can connect to any of the relay instances that are available for them to use
- Anyone who wants to launch their own can select the relay software that best suit their needs, launch an instance, and have it used by whichever users they like

### Reasons to Run Your Own Relay

As a normal user of a Nostr client there's no obligation to run a relay. But having your own relay does give you more power.

For my own journey down the #nostr rabbit hole, I was looking for a relay to:

- back up my notes
- decrease spam
- increase my privacy
- learn skills I could later use for running a community or team or paid relay

Backing up notes – When you post notes to a public relay there's no guarantee that the relay is going to keep them long-term. It's job is relaying your notes to other clients, not storing them. Running your own relay allows you to keep your notes online.

Decrease spam – To first spam we can use a "Web of Trust" model–in which users endorse other users as trustworthy. A "Web of Trust" relay will reject notes from parties too far removed from your network. Running your own relay makes you more difficult to spam.

Increasing privacy – When you connect to a public relay, they can determine personal information about you, such as your IP address. Running your own relay keeps things more private.

For communities and teams and paid relays – Many opportunities exist to tailor relays to certain users needs, be they businesses or communities or as a for-profit business. For me, I am hoping that running my own relay helps me learn skills I can use in these kinds of further ventures.

To start I decided to focus on a personal relay. However, when I really got under the hood, it turned out I would need multiple relays not just one.

#### The outbox model

[Mike Dilger](nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c) proposed [the outbox model](https://mikedilger.com/gossip-model/) (originally called the gossip model) as a way for users to engage with the wider Nostr network. It's a great model that is helpful to understand, as it suggests to establish different relays for different purposes.

Many clients and relay softwares have now adopted and continued to elaborate on this model. An example is to run specialised relays for Outbox, Inbox, Chat and Private needs.

**Outbox Relay (also called Home Relay)**

- This relay is for notes you have written, so that everyone knows where to find your notes
- In a set up where you are running your own, this relay is restricted so that only you can post to it, and you should set up your clients to post your notes to it
- An advanced version may take any notes received to this relay and "blast" them to other public relays so that your notes get wider reach

**Inbox Relay (also called Public Relay)**

- This relay is for public notes that other users want you to see, so that you always find notes that are relevant to you, including all replies, comments, likes, and zap payments
- In a set up where you are running your own, this relay is where you should look for notes relevant to you, and you should set up your clients to read from it
- An advanced version may search other public relays for notes that tag you, and import them into this relay so that you never miss a relevant note

**Chat Relay (also called Direct Message Relay)**

- This relay is for private direct message notes from other users, so that you always find your direct messages and so that they stay private
- In a set up where you are running your own, this relay is restricted so that only you can read from it, and you should set up your clients to read from it
- An advanced version may cut spam by only accepting direct messages from other users within your Web of Trust

**Private Relay**

- This relay is for your private use only, so that you can store private drafts or thoughts
- Only you can write to it and only you can read from it (and so, it is a bit mis-named as it does not actually relay anything to anywhere at all)
- In a set up where you are running your own, it gives you true privacy for these notes

**In summary as a user**

- I post my notes to my outbox relay. Network users can read them there, and if the relay is advanced it will also blast the notes out to other relays on the network
- I read from my inbox relay. Network users know to reach me there, and if the relay is advanced it will also bring me notes from the wider network
- I can have private direct message conversations with others in my chat relay.
- I can save private notes in my private relay

For me, this model has a lot of appeal and I went looking for a personal relay which adopted this model and contained all of these features.

#### HAVEN as a personal relay

I decided to go with HAVEN relay software.

HAVEN is all four of the above relays in one–outbox, inbox, chat and private. It contains advanced features like blasting your notes from outbox to other relays, importing notes from other relays to your inbox, and preventing spam with Web of Trust.

[HAVEN](https://github.com/bitvora/haven) is written by [Utxo the Webmaster](nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8) . It is based upon the [Khatru](https://khatru.nostr.technology/) relay framework by [Fiatjaf](nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6)

### Setting up HAVEN as a Personal Relay

I am mostly non-technical, but on my #Nostr journey I have been having success with technology set ups that use Docker.

- I have a cheap VPS which currently runs [Albyhub and Phoneixd with Docker](nostr:naddr1qq34xet5w35kueedw4cz65rp09kk2mn5wvkk7m3dfehhxarj95mk7dnvwvmszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99upzqx760c0h894a5tg7lxgr8k506twrv2qs0yxln0nz7kgs8zae03xeqvzqqqr4gua7fyfn),
- My objective was to set up HAVEN to run alongside it, in a separate Docker on the same server. HAVEN does not include Docker by default, but [Sebastix](nostr:npub1qe3e5wrvnsgpggtkytxteaqfprz0rgxr8c3l34kk3a9t7e2l3acslezefe) published a [fork with Docker support](https://github.com/nostrver-se/haven/tree/docker_compose_support).

To get HAVEN up and running in Docker on your VPS:

1. Clone and configure HAVEN with the right variables
2. Launch it in Docker on your VPS
3. Check the URLs and logs to see your HAVEN running
4. Configure a subdomain to point to the VPS
5. Configure the VPS to reverse proxy to the Docker port
6. Configure the relays in your favourite Nostr client
7. Post a note to your outbox and see if it blasts!

#### Running HAVEN

I cloned Sebastix fork to start.

```
git clone -b docker_compose_support https://github.com/nostrver-se/haven.git
cd haven
```

The software sets up all environment variables in the `.env` file, and comes with an `.env.example` file. Duplicate and rename the file to `.env`. Within the `.env` file you need to set up the environment variables. The file is long but it contains lots of repetition and for the most part defaults can be retained–only a few changes are required:

- Replace all instances of the default user npub with your own (for me, `npub1r0d8...`)
- Change the default relay URL to your own (for me, `relay.rodbishop.nz`)
- Replace all instances of the default name in the relay names (for me, "Rod's ...")
- Replace all instances of the default profile image with your own

To enable automatic blasting from your outbox, and importing to your inbox, the software comes with an example list of relays to blast and import from. See `relays_blastr.example.json` and `relays_import.example.json`. To use these features simply duplicate and rename these files to `relays_blastr.json` and `relays_import.json` respectively. Within these files you can specify the public relays of your choice. I simply used the default list.

There are other features available, such as backups and initial imports, but I decided to handle these later. To start with I wanted to launch the relay and test it.

To launch the relay run Docker Compose.

```
docker-compose up -d
docker logs haven-relay
```

Then you should explore the logs in the command line and the ports in your browser to see if it launched successfully. The logs should show your web of trust has been built successfully and the browser should show simple landing pages.

The logs should show that the relay has queried the network and built a web of trust from your followers. Mine looked as follows.

```
2024/10/14 12:02:08 🌐 building web of trust graph
2024/10/14 12:02:16 🫂 total network size: 13296
2024/10/14 12:02:16 🔗 relays discovered: 335
2024/10/14 12:02:17 🌐 pubkeys with minimum followers:  9394 keys
```

Your browser should show you have four relays in operation, for example as follows.

- `your_IP_address:3355` (your outbox or home relay)
- `your_IP_address:3355/private` (your private relay)
- `your_IP_address:3355/chat` (your direct message relay)
- `your_IP_address:3355/inbox` (your inbox relay)

That's it. Your relay is online.

#### Connecting HAVEN

Now all that remains is the plumbing to connect your domain, relay, and Nostr clients together.

**Configure DNS**

First, configure your domain. At a high level –

1. Get your domain (buy one if you need to)
2. Get the IP address of your VPS
3. In your domain's DNS settings add those records as an A record to the subdomain of your choice, e.g. `relay` as in `relay.your_domain_name.com`, or in my case `relay.rodbishop.nz`

Your subdomain now points to your server.

**Configure reverse proxy**

Next, you need to redirect traffic from your subdomain to your relay at port `3355`.

On my VPS I use Caddy as a reverse proxy for a few projects, I have it sitting in a separate Docker network. To use it for my HAVEN Relay required two steps. I am sure that the way I do this is not very elegant, but it worked. If you prefer a different method, the HAVEN readme also comes with instructions on how to perform a similar setup using nginx.

For my method, my steps were as follows:

1. Add configuration to Caddy's `Caddyfile` to tell it what to do with requests for the `relay.rodbishop.nz` subdomain
2. Add the Caddy Docker network to the HAVEN `docker-compose.yml` to make it be part of the Caddy network

For the addition to the `Caddyfile`, I used as follows:

```
relay.rodbishop.nz {
  reverse_proxy haven-relay:3355 {
  header_up X-Forwarded-For {remote}
  header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
  header_up X-Forwarded-Port {server_port}
  }
}
```

For the addition to the `docker-compose.yml`, I used as follows:

```
  networks:
    - caddy # Added this line to services to connect to the Caddy network

networks:
  caddy:
    external: true # Added this to section specify the Caddy network
```

Once your DNS configuration and reverse proxy setup are completed, you should now be able to access your Nostr client at `relay.your_domain_name.com`. For my set up, this was `relay.rodbishop.nz`.

**Connecting your Nostr client**

 Most Nostr clients allow you to specify any relay you choose. My go-to client at the moment is Amethyst on Android. Amethyst allows you to specify discrete relays for each role in the outbox model which ties up very neatly with HAVEN.

- In the sidebar, select Relays
- For "Public Outbox/Home Relays" enter `relay.your_domain_name.com`
- For "Public Inbox Relays" enter `relay.your_domain_name.com/inbox`
- For "DM Inbox Relays" enter `relay.your_domain_name.com/chat`
- For "Private Home Relays" enter `relay.your_domain_name.com/private`
- Click Save to broadcast your new relays to the Nostr network.

Your new relay configuration is now live.

**Testing your relay**

Lastly, it's time to test. Amethyst provides a simple method to test this as it allows you to configure the relays used on each post.

- Create a test note, and then before you post it, edit your relays using the icon at the top
- Turn off all relays except your own outbox relay, and post the note
- Access your HAVEN docker logs with `docker logs haven-relay` and see if there is a log to indicate if the note was received and blasted to other public relays
- Copy the `nevent` of the note, and attempt to find it in another client

If you're in luck, you may see something like this (the blasted note, and then users on the network responding to the note in turn).

```
2024/10/22 00:12:23 🔫 blasted 95c477af7e6b612bf5d1d94309d2d57377a0a67d2181cfbb42a2e3fbc0feeaaf to 26 relays

2024/10/22 00:19:02 📰 new note in your inbox
```

That's it. If you followed this successfully your personal relay is up and running.

#### What I did wrong so you don't have to

**My first relay was too public**

This blog comes after much trial and error. The first error I made was I set up a relay to use as a personal relay, but without any restrictions on use. I very quickly found other people discovered and started using my relay to save their own notes! This was unintended and I had to take it down.

**Unfamiliar with Go language**

I am mostly non-technical, and completely unfamiliar with Go. I got the project up and running with Go on my localhost–with a lot of help from my AI–but I then completely failed in migrating this to my VPS. Moving to Docker made the difference for me here.

**I failed a few times due to a messy folder**

After messing with Go, I moved to the Docker setup, but I started my work from a messy folder which contained remnants of the Go build, which caused various failures. Deleting the folder and cloning again from scratch solved the issue.

**Trouble with Nostr.wine**

I subscribe to the Nostr.wine paid relay, and I initially added it to the list of relays in my blaster. However, it didn't work, and the logs showed an error as follows

```
CLOSED from wss://nostr.wine: 'auth-required: this relay only serves private notes to authenticated users'
```

It seems my npub's subscription to Nostr.wine is not enough for it to permit my relay to blast notes to it. In the end, I removed Nostr.wine from my relay config, and kept Nostr.wine as a separate entry in my Client's outbox settings.

**Failed to create web of trust graph**

When I first launched the relay on my VPS, HAVEN failed to complete the Web of Trust graph, with a log that looked as follows (note the zeroes). As a result, no one would have been able to send me DM's to my Chat relay (it would flag every message as spam).

```
2024/10/14 12:02:08 🌐 building web of trust graph
2024/10/14 12:02:16 🫂 total network size: 0
2024/10/14 12:02:16 🔗 relays discovered: 0
2024/10/14 12:02:17 🌐 pubkeys with minimum followers:  0 keys
```

I never got to the bottom of why this was. In the process of trying to fix it I rebuild the container, and on the rebuild it spontaneously worked. Accordingly my lesson learned is "if in doubt, turn if off and on again".

**Failed to run --import function**

HAVEN comes with a function to import all your old notes from other public relays to your own outbox relay. When I run it I get an error as follows:

```
panic: Cannot acquire directory lock on "db/private".  Another process is using this Badger database. error: resource temporarily unavailable
```

I have yet to work out the solution for this, and will update this note when I do so!

### What's Next?

Over the past four blogs I have

- [Mined a Nostr pubkey and backed up the mnemonic](nostr:naddr1qqsy66twd9hxwtteda6hyt2kv9hxjare94g82cntv4uj6drfw4cxyeszyqda5lslwwttmgk3a7vsx0dgl5kuxc5pq7gdlxlx9av3qw9mjlzdjqcyqqq823c6e2ekw)

- Set up a Personal Relay at my own domain

This feels like a very comprehensive personal set up now. Also, I have uncovered some new rabbit holes and feel like I have some projects to tackle. Perhaps one of these?

- Set up a personal homepage with my Nostr feed to round-out my rodbishop.nz domain
- Experiment with different signers like Amber and Nsec.app and NFC cards
- Set up a paid relay for #austriches (Australians and Kiwis on Nostr)
- Set up a team relay to experiment with Nostr for business or community projects
- Or something else ... ?

Please be sure to let me know if you think there's another Nostr topic you'd like to see me tackle.

Pura vida Nostr.


You are right. I already tried and smaller font doesn't give me good results but I only tried one tool so far.


Don't spend all of your Bitcoin 😆


:vendetta:


Let's travel back in time, to the Bitcoin v0.1 Alpha era, to be exact.

"You can get coins by getting someone to send you some, or turn on Options->Generate Coins to run a node and generate blocks. I made the proof-of-work difficulty ridiculously easy to start with, so for a little while in the beginning a typical PC will be able to generate coins in just a few hours. It'll get a lot harder when competition makes the automatic adjustment drive up the difficulty. Generated coins must wait 120 blocks to mature before they can be spent."

They have tools we can't even imagine. Everything we do today online,  majority of packets goes through 14 eyes countries servers.
Credit cards, cameras on highway and state owned roads tracking licence plates. We are giving so much data away it's pretty scary when you think about it. This is bad of course but could also be proof where you were if you were falsely accused of some criminal activity. There had been cases where proof of google location tracking saved the person, with a  true location at the time of the crime. I'm not sure that would work in EU but I read there has been cases in the US.

So, big brother can be bad or helpful. But let's not get too attach to it. It's definitely bad.

For me, invading something like this as tracking phones at abortion centers is sick and inhumane.
But when you think about it, why such stuff always come out before the election? This might be Dems move to remember voters what Reps intentions are.

Here's a test to see how disconnected the people in charge of running our systems are from the realities faced by the average citizen.

**Try to get in contact with one of them**.

They live in their own bubbles, isolated from the everyday struggles of ordinary people. They have little understanding of how hard people are working just to make ends meet, or how the cost of living has skyrocketed.

Their reality is completely different from ours. They benefit from financial systems that print money for their benefit, while we survive through hard work, perseverance, and resourcefulness.

We need to **create our own economy** and let them have their fucked corrupted system. That's why **Bitcoin** was created and it has proven it is working flawlessly. It is fast and transparent.
If you want to do shady stuff, use fiat instead which has proven record of being the most anonymous and if you don't have bags large enough, use offshore banks which are protected by people running our system.

**Ignore Bitcoin regulations** which are yet another try to control our cost of living.
And don't you fucking dare paying taxes on your Bitcoin! Use fiat for that because we allegedly have unlimited amount of it!

I'm not an expert but I find NFC technology very interesting so, I asked GPT about it...

In theory, yes, a terminal could interact with a Java Card via NFC and instruct it to perform certain operations like selecting "1337 sats worth of ecash." However, the exact implementation would depend on several factors related to both the Java Card's applet (software) and the NFC terminal's capabilities. Here's how this interaction could conceptually work:

1. Java Card with a Custom Applet:

Java Cards run applets (Java Card applications) that handle specific tasks, such as managing digital currencies (e.g., ecash or Bitcoin sats). In your case, the Java Card would need to have a pre-programmed applet that knows how to store and manage ecash, including sats.

The applet would also need to have a coin selection algorithm that can calculate how to pick "1337 sats" from the available balance. This is similar to how Bitcoin wallets handle UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) selection.

2. NFC Terminal Commands:

The NFC terminal (like a payment terminal or smartphone) would communicate with the Java Card over NFC using a set of APDU (Application Protocol Data Units) commands, which are the standard command/response format used to communicate with Java Cards.

The terminal would issue a SELECT command to the card, specifying the amount (e.g., 1337 sats). This command would be interpreted by the applet, which then runs the coin selection algorithm to choose a set of ecash coins that sum up to 1337 sats.

3. Coin Selection Algorithm:

The applet would implement a coin selection algorithm similar to those used in Bitcoin wallets, which would scan the stored coins (UTXOs) in the card’s memory. It would then select the best combination of UTXOs to form 1337 sats. This could involve selecting one or more UTXOs that total at least 1337 sats.

Any change (leftover sats from a larger UTXO) would need to be handled, potentially by generating a new UTXO to be stored back in the card or sent elsewhere.

4. Transaction Data and Sending:

Once the correct amount has been selected, the Java Card would prepare the transaction data (likely a signature or hash) and send it back to the terminal over NFC.

The terminal would then broadcast the transaction to the Bitcoin network or handle it in whatever way is required to finalize the transfer of ecash (e.g., uploading the transaction data to a blockchain or private ledger).

Technical Challenges:

Applet Development: The Java Card would need a specialized applet capable of storing Bitcoin UTXOs and implementing a coin selection algorithm.

Security: The transaction needs to be securely signed, ensuring that the Java Card's private keys are never exposed during the NFC exchange.

Communication Protocol: The terminal and Java Card need to agree on a specific protocol and set of APDU commands for selecting and transferring ecash.

In conclusion, while the concept is feasible, the implementation requires sophisticated programming on both the Java Card (for storing and managing ecash and coin selection) and the terminal (for securely requesting and processing the transaction).

Delete your platform accounts. No fuss. No spectacle. No grand finale, no great exit. Leave their houses, leave their prisons, leave the golden cages behind. They all benefit from the noise that you make, so do the one thing that they can't censor. Be silent. Leave. And leave the noise behind.

Surprisingly a lot. Look how they are robbing value from our hard earned fiat and we still let them do that and we can't stop them.
Many people even support them doing that because they are clueless and uneducated about finances.
We were programmed to not be educated about finances, which in my opinion should start in early ages.
How many of us get knowledge about finances from education system? Not many of us and that's intentional.

Testing ecash payments with bearer tokens stored on a physical card. You can see the card being topped up with one phone and pay the other. It feels incredibly fast and smooth.

Tap to pay UX with ecash is as good as it gets for payments. You're literally handing over the money.

RELAYS HAVE EVOLVED!

Nostr relays have evolved beyond their initial role as dumb pipes or simple databases. Today, the Nostr ecosystem is home to a variety of specialized relays, each offering unique functionalities.

What unique relays exist on Nostr? Here are a few:

wss://gm.swarmstr.com - A relay for GMs only
wss://catstrr.swarmstr.com - Cat pics and content about cats
wss://questions.swarmstr.com - A questions only relay
by  nostr:npub178umpxtdflcm7a08nexvs4mu384kx0ngg9w8ltm5eut6q7lcp0vq05qrg4

wss://eyes.f7z.io - notes with the 👀 emoji only
wss://140.f7z.io - 140 character max notes, like Twitter's old policy
by  nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft

wss://algo.utxo.one - a new type of algorithm based relay
This type of relay category is very new, but will grow over time.
by  nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8

And then we have WoT relays or relays that operate with a Web-of-Trust, brining less spam to users in a more trusted and safer environment. Here are several WoT relays:

wss://wot.utxo.one
wss://nostrelites.org
wss://wot.nostr.party
wss://wot.sovbit.host
wss://wot.girino.org
wss://relay.lnau.net
wss://wot.siamstr.com
wss://relay.lexingtonbitcoin.org
wss://wot.azzamo.net
wss://wot.swarmstr.com
wss://zap.watch
wss://satsage.xyz
wss://wons.calva.dev
wss://wot.zacoos.com
wss://wot.shaving.kiwi
wss://wot.tealeaf.dev
wss://wot.nostr.net
wss://relay.goodmorningbitcoin.com

To fully leverage these relay advancements, we now need new sets tools that can make the most of these new features. It's time for relay management and relay explorers to take on a more prominent role within our clients. These tools can help users discover, explore, and even rate relays, encouraging greater decentralization of content on Nostr. This also opens up exciting new opportunities for how users find, engage with, and share information in new and unique ways.


Fight against central banks ridiculous claims about Bitcoin is in our hands. Start making nice websites where we explain visitor why that's  not true with simple to understand examples and examples why central bank issued currencies are the worst with nicely presented graphics how much value that currency lost in certain timespan.

Just look how simple the ECB explain to clueless visitor why Bitcoin is a bad investment. We have all the power to contradict their lies. Every section in their blog post can be debunked to make them look bad!

I love 💜 nostr, but I don't like how most web apps ignore signing on mobile devices without directly exposing our nSecs.

NIP-47 (example is Amber) should be a norm in every interaction with a nostr client simply because the www became mobile first and we are loosing potential new users because of ignoring mobile signers in nostr clients.

I know about Kiwi browser is supporting extensions but that's just a patch not a solution.

I'm just a weekend hobbyist developer so I might not know if devs ignoring NIP-47 because of technicalities or simply forget about that?

Signing with nsec.app is also a neat solution but again, clients are not adding this as a norm.

**A client that focuses on mobile-first will win in the long run**.

Introducing: AlgoRelay

Build your own nostr algorithm!
https://i.nostr.build/XPRvfXEpnW3C37k3.jpg

AlgoRelay is the first nostr native relay capable of serving personalized, algorithmic feeds without the use of external or proprietary APIs or DVMs.

It prioritizes surfacing content from the people you care about, based on your personal interactions.

For new users, it solves the "who should I follow?" problem by surfacing popular content in a global feed with our best content.

Clients can easily add personalized feeds by  displaying notes from a single relay, using the same REQ parameters we're already using - simply perform an auth handshake.

Coracle is the first client to implement it, you can see it in action here:
https://coracle.social/relays/wss%3A%2F%2Falgo.utxo.one%2F

Don't like the way my relay is surfacing content? You can easily adjust the weightings in your own relay by changing a few numbers - no coding required!

I look forward to seeing a blossoming market of algorithmic relays putting choice back in the user's hands. This is a big step forward for nostr, giving the masses what they want using open source, transparent algorithms.

This relay is released under an MIT license, feel free to use it however you see fit.

To run your own relay, get started here:

To them, never.


They have tons of cash to buy it. We don't.
It's that simple.
Thankfully we started stacking earlier then them.


Bitaxe magicians now intruduced a lot of updates in the latest version 2.3.0 and one neat feature I really like is to have a fallback pool. If your primary pool goes down for some reason, #Bitaxe will connect to other pool and continue to mine with the fallback pool.

Amazing 🤩

Isn't that how ot supposed to be? I never heard from anyone from where I'm feom that Taxi driver wouldn't help the elderly person. Idk but this is basic 🌟


Most EU countries are ignoring Schengen lately and are again making border checks on major border checkpoints. For public, this is for fighting the terrorism and illegal migrants smuggling in the EU zones and the funny think is that they are only checking at bigger border checkpoints. All the small ones are empty and anyone can cross them without a friction. I regularly cross two neighboring countries and I know the situation very well.

So much about fighting terrorism 🤦🏼

I know one thing. If I would be 100% they got nothing on me. I would make him pack my bag back as it was. I wouldn't do it for sure. If beating was their solution. These rooms have video surveillance and Germany like most EU have laws in place what these fucks can and can not do.


You can only describe Bitcoin, you can never define Bitcoin.


Huh I didn't expect such complexity:)

#Strike is awesome 😎 that said.

Check your bank transactions. Check if your bank is taking their cut for quick settlements or #quasiTransactions like they call them. Google the therm. It's known worldwide.

I recently notice my bank is charging me Revolut top up's. When I press vthe button "Add money". My bank is charging me Min 1€ or 1.5% of transaction value and max 150$ for that.

With Banks finding ways to grab our money we need to be especially careful because they are thieves.

Just saying if you're selling something on Nostr, marketplace is a way to do it. Notes comes and go and tomorrow probably nobody will see it.

The US has written to Israel’s government, giving it 30 days to urgently boost humanitarian aid access in Gaza or face having some US military assistance cut off.

Hypocrisy in it's finest 👏🏽

Another way to say it:
"Let the aid in! You can't bomb them when they're hungry"


What gives you an impression I defend human sacrifice?
They didn't know other way of life like we are today. They believed sacrifices work 🤷🏽 and they practicing it because they live in such belief.
You most know in what kind of stupid shit people still believe today and this is way more concerning because we have options. Our leaders have options but yet they are sacrificing us for their greater goals.


I do have life outdide of messaging nostriches on nostr so, one step at a time.
Quick answer: I never read the definition of it. But I will later today. See, in every conversation we can find inspiration to do stuff we usually would not :)


And what holocaust have incomon with those indegious people?


And what is our proof of how frequently their rituals were? Movie Apocalypse by Mel Gibson?

I bet rituals were rarer then weight of human lives lost from inhumane confitions in mines.
Rarer then all the human lives lost in wars we have fought for no fucking reason.


What Israel is doing is a genocide.


If we alone don't decide to declutter, no technology can save us.


Different times, same shit.

Year 1450
The Taino people believed that human sacrifices were sometimes necessary to appease the gods during times of crisis, such as droughts. They performed these rare rituals in hopes of restoring balance and ensuring the survival of their community.

Year 2024
Israel is flattening Gaza, knowing there are children and civilians in the area, with the blind hope of destroying Hamas fighters or one of its tunnel exits.

And a charry on top, people still belive in some imaginary being nowdays. I'm not judging, just saying. We still believe in something that gives us hope.
Sacrifices were hope for Taino people. We can't compare thinking from now and then but similarities are obvious.


GM ☕ Nice view

Who are we to judge their culture and way of living? How can we judge their time if we do exactly the same thing but in more modern way with a help of deadly technologies 🤷🏽

Think a little!

Population grew by a lot since then and proportionally WE ARE sacrificing human life's for us to have modern gadgets and toys. Your and My phone are working because children in third world country are digging with bare hands in toxic environment some minerals critical for our fucking Electric future!

Can you finally see where I'm going with this?
