That's not Web of Trust. It's not even close.

Not sure. What's the goal of the WoT relay? To give users a low spam experience. Maybe we don't even need to calculate a WoT now because we have nspam?

That would be interesting and I do run a nosflare sendit relay.

Demand is down, but this feature needs to exist either way. I built this feature because it didn't exist. It now does.

Hey all! I've been running Nostr Elites WoT relay now for two years. It costs me $50 a month, every month. I'm was going to shut it down, but I figured that I perhaps could try another route, and focus on sustainability instead.
If you use the Nostr Elites relay and you want to keep it around, every month the members of the WoT can keep it alive by paying or it. The relay now has a monthly Zap goal.

Also, @npub1utx…50e8, if this works, I'll submit a PR for this. I added this feature this afternoon.

SERIOUS: who would play WoW: Forever with me? i will only play Horde. i have never played Alliance. i would play as a filthy casual, if we could get a nostr guild going in game.
im not saying that i will 100% do this, i don't even know if my computer would be able to handle it, but i will try to play if enough of us Nostriches want to make it happen. i have no old gaming friends left. it's you all or nothing :)

This looks like an old Shitcoin mining rig.

Muse.ai a new assistant from Meta... that has a dedicated, secure computer with its own browser. Muse Secure VM runs on a persistent, isolated Linux virtual machine equipped with a full browser and enough storage, CPU, and memory to do the kinds of things you'd do on your own computer.

Another one... Snap Inc. just announced that its laying off 16% of its workforce, or around 1,000 staff members, as it relies on Al-driven efficiencies 👀
