@axodys@octobloc.xyz I tried Iris, yes. Is OK. I proved to myself that Nostr will not work with just my own relay. Even if the latency is 1ms, all the clients will crawl to a stop with only my relay. It seems it is meant to use many relays, which I don’t like.

I also don’t have—nor want, not even free—any cryptocurrency, so that portion of the protocol is of no use, nor interest to me. Have fun, though! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Interesting that it performed so poorly when your tried your own relay. How many clients were accessing it at once? Overall I’m definitely not sold on it yet, while I do like fiddling around with new protocol stuff I am also very wary of the crypto-libertarian ethos that is driving the Nostr project.

@axodys@octobloc.xyz only one client. I was stumped myself, so I tried another relay to make sure. Same result.

I also came across Nick Fuentes, and other extreme right wingers. Not my kind of crowd.

@bender@twtxt.net Out of interesst, what sort of latency were you getting with just one client? 🤔
