Adding the relay

In your client, add: 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!

Use your Website

For this method, your webserver 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, it will be added to the whitelist. 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"
    }
}
