yeah. simpleX is good from a technical point of view. but its UI/UX is a long way from consumer expectations these days and the lack of network effects is crippling. i think @nprofile…radp wins on both.
@nprofile…9puf doesn't need your phone number.

p.s. if you haven't updated your python stack...

starlink? since they use CGNAT (sharing IPs across customers) there are quite a few sites that block
i feel you. i just lost half my ram on my 6 year old server this morning.
have you tried @nprofile…sp3z recently?
https://whitenoise.chat
yay!! updating every machine i look after or own is exactly what i wanted to do all day today. 🫠
Sick! But also, fuck... now I have so many more books on my list.
very excited to binge listen to all the Magic Internet Math episodes.

we are all @npub180c…h6w6
Yeah - it's best to set your normal relays as the ones you want to use in normal apps, you can use our whitenoise relays for your inbox relays (or use your own if it's a good relay). The group relays will default to whitenoise relays in the app for good group performance but the original issue was almost certainly your inbox relay being down.

what's the issue? did you get any errors?
My son has been working on a fun little racing game the last few weeks. You can sign in with your nostr account, and run tournaments with cashu buy-ins and the winner takes the pot!

apple. we accept bitcoin on our site https://ipf.dev/donate
Someone is spamming kind 1059 gift-wrap events right now. About 13k per minute. And 96%+ of them are all being directed at one npub.
@npub16qv…97ax
Looks like someone's script is running away with itself.
😂😂 vandalism for good.
#nevent1q…x7zj
there are always bugs to fix. but you’re still in the group reporting them and we’re still there fixing them. 🫂
to the group? is this the npub you want added? you don’t need an invite for the app just get it at https://whitenoise.chat
it’s on zapstore and play store. happy to add you to the community group!
one of the most important projects in nostr.
#nevent1q…u80w
we have a group on @nprofile…sp3z that is over 100 members and has been running flawlessly for weeks.
no coordinators. no shared keys. no special relays.
fully decentralized end to end encryption. it just works.
Doesn't look like it currently but we're definitely going to add FIPS and mesh support to @npub1wht…r3ec in the future. Just waiting on a few key features to land in FIPS before we start on that work.
You can also donate at https://ipf.dev/donate 😉
#nevent1q…29vq
that was like 20-30 minutes of me working. we released new versions this morning so the community groups blew up again!
sorry about that. i actually meant to remove that. we added it a bit ago when Will said he was turning off the damus relay but it’s still going so…
if you want to support what we’re doing at @nprofile…radp you can now donate right in the iOS and Android apps.
you can even set up an easy recurring donation with Apple Pay on iOS.
since we’re a 501(c)(3), if you’re in the US, your donation is tax deductible.
🙏

It is arbitrary, but only because it doesn't matter much. The only reason that we run our own relays for White Noise is because I monitored a bunch of the most popular relays for a few months and their uptime was dog shit.
The White Noise relays are still just relays, running normal relay software, in accordance with the spec. The only event size limit in nostr is NIP-44 payloads, which have a 4GB limit. It makes no sense to artificially limit events to a tiny size. This isn't bitcoin. We don't have to worry about nodes running on raspberry pi's running out of space.
For those crashing out over this... the limit on NIP-44 payloads was raised to 4GB minus 1 byte back in June. I'm not asking for a protocol change, it's already changed.
#nevent1q…wf5l
it is solved at the protocol level. in june, the limit on events for nip-44 was raised to 4GB minus 1 byte. it's just that most relay implementations & operators haven't updated their config yet.
Jokes aside: that sounds like a problem that should be solved at the protocol level 🪄
no - a 200 person group has a welcome message of about 300kb. the MLS welcome object itself is only about 100kb but then we nip-44 encrypt and base64 it, so it gets bigger.
I just think 1MB+ is a better size limit is all.
it's an easy fix too. 🤷♂️
my relay implementation Wok has higher default limits. Khatru, Haven, and others also default higher than 64kb now. It's basically just a historic holdover.
total event size. this only for welcome messages that invite people into the group (which are gift-wraps - kind 1059). most group messages are kind:445 and are tiny.
disagree. nostr relays work great once you get past the broken ones.
