We are once again asking #nostr to help support and keep #relayable free to all! Every bit helps to cover hosting costs. 💜⚡

Fun Facts:
Our DB is currently 52GB
Each relay uses approximately 2TB of data transfer a month

Strange. We only have AU relay out of DNS pool due to HD going bad. Should not impact unless hardcoded in that subdomain for it.

# From Global Relay Network to Global Nostr Nodes

![Relayable Network]( )
I have just finished deploying a new bare metal server in Sydney, Australia to complete the Version 2 of the Relayable Relay Network. With lessons learned from Version 1 that has been up for the last 6+ months. When I first started this project it was to improve the architecture and design of relays to be more highly available (HA) and redundant in terms of data storage in many geographic locations.

With the finalizing of Version 2 of the network many improvements have been made.

## Some include:
- Faster strfry (relay software) performance
- Better syncing of data across geographic regions
- Better syncing of configurations and site content

A big change is the move away from a singular cloud provider to a more heterogeneous model with 80% of relays not being on AWS or any cloud provider. With numerous backbone providers.

The biggest change is we're leveraging our network of servers to start offering other free services to nostr users. Including the addition of a customized version of Snort in each geographic region we have a relay. This is under the domain name of [nostr.af](https://nostr.af), the web client by default has relayable's relay network if not logged in. Allowing users to see our truly global feed. Once logged in you will have your usual list of relays you currently use.

Another is the addition of our SimpleX Chat servers:
```
smp://8VHoUzYaX4q8gqVuN_0ahprw1-mrpd0Ouyff0RwpsWE=@smp.nostr.af
xftp://yC6U2VvP9EtYkTdbtvENiqhHazG4yQ8lZ9qDS0JKwuE=@xftp.nostr.af
```
![nostr.af SimpleX Servers]( )
We'll soon be adding our own CDN using our existing global network to help bolster nostr and help in the growth and decentralization of the network.

Thanks to everyone who has donated to Relayable. You make it possible to provide these free services and keep them free and accessible to everyone! [https://donate.relayable.org](https://donate.relayable.org) V4V⚡️

Mid-month update. We were hopeful last month that July would be a break even month. But so far have had little donations. Down over 90% compared to this time last month. Applied for grants from the usual suspects in May and never even got a reply. Know improvements to relay networks aren't as exciting as #nostr clients. 😞

On the upside we have 3 servers donated to add to the network. 💜

We'll keep moving forward and relaying 🤙🫂

We are very happy with our relays performance in the recent #grownostr additions. Like other platforms we are always battling spam and bad bots. Will be updating our site with the relays we stream from. All are run through our filters for blatent spam or unsolicited comment bots. You still need to fine tune your preferences in your client of choice.

Current relays we stream with:

```
relay.damus.io
purplepag.es
relay.snort.social
nostr.wine
nos.lol
nostr21.com
relay.wellorder.net
nostr.mom
```

More to come in our site updates to coincide with the new relay builds. Please DM us any other relay suggestions or if a relay operator, feel free to stream up/down to our relays.
