Strfry based relay for the Nostr protocol (beta)
About this relay
This relay uses a combination of the strfry relay software and chief for policies. It tries to enforce the common tchncs values and rules, but please remember that you will be using multiple relays in your Nostr client. tchncs does not have control about 3rdparty relays.
Adding the relay
In your client, add: wss://relay.tchncs.de
However, your messages will be dropped by the relay until you get whitelisted!
Whitelisting
In order to mitigate spammers at least to some degree, this service requires a whitelist. Please choose one of the below options in order to join the relay. Please remember that tchncs.de still cannot have full control over your nostr experience, as you will be using multiple relays with individual moderation policies!
Notes
Remember to be whitelisted in order to use this relay.
- Server:
wss://relay.tchncs.de
- Follow Milan: @
Verified identity
For this method, your (or a verification service) must return your pubkey in hex format at /.well-known/nostr.json
. Using this makes sense if you want to be verified in the nostr network too. You can add this identifier (user@domain) in your nostr app later. No website? You can also use a verification service to make it work!
Your website will be checked automatically after you submit. If we find a key in the valid format, a success note will appear here. Your domain must be properly configured and it must support https. The relay checks for new whitelist entries every 15 minutes!. Example for a valid response of your webserver:
{ "names": { "milan": "76dc7616d90163b4b55402ccfadf6775a8403198e5c5fe19d464ad29a5594586" }, // optional "relays": { "76dc7616d90163b4b55402ccfadf6775a8403198e5c5fe19d464ad29a5594586": [ "wss://relay.tchncs.de", //"..." ] } }
