Threefold and Nostr Relays

Hey there!

I’m reading on Nostr and thought it would be nice to share it here.

Nostr in a Nutshell

In their own words: “A simple, open protocol that enables a truly censorship-resistant and global social network.”

Running Nostr Relays on the TF Grid

Flux is running some relay of Nostr.

I think it would be suitable workloads for the Threefold Grid.

The steps look quite simple on launching a relay.

The easiest way could be to deploy a full VM and just follow the given steps.


Using Nostr and Creating an Account

You can try Nostr at https://snort.social/.
You can make an account by generating a private + public key pair.
Very fast and easy, no KYC or email verification.

Here’s a preview of snort.social:


That’s all for now.

Has anyone checked Nostr already?

Update: Deploying a Nostr relay is easily done with Umbrel. Guide coming soon.
