expensive

expensive-relay, a sybil-free corner of nostr

• a nostr relay implementation based on relayer.
• uses postgres, which I think must be over version 12 since it uses generated columns.
• requires users to manually register themselves to be able to publish events and pay a fee. this should prevent spam.
• aside from that it's basically the same thing as relayer basic.

running

this requires a recent CLN version with Commando.

grab a binary from the releases page and run it with the following environment variables:

POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=postgresql://...
CLN_NODE_ID=02fed8723...
CLN_HOST=127.0.0.1:9735
CLN_RUNE=...
TICKET_PRICE_SATS=500

adjust the values above accordingly.

compiling

if you know Go you already know this:

go install github.com/fiatjaf/relayer/expensive

or something like that.
