we had payment targets on profiles (even if it was just bitcoin), noone used them. zaps and one tap zaps are what got people to send money.
if there's too much friction people won't use it. leaving the app to send some shitcoin that the receiver is not even notified of is a shitty experience.
i think generalizing zaps is a good idea though. no reason that we need bolt11 on there, but should probably be a different kind at this point.

Idea: a lightning wallet interface where you can connect multiple nwc wallets and use it as a single wallet 🤔

yeah they are all data center ips from germany, russia, stockholm. its weird

nerd post ahead...
strfry spawns a noteguard read-policy process for each read thread, so a naive per-IP rate limit actually enforces N× the budget. each process has its own counter.
claude came up with a pretty cool fix:
put the token buckets in a shared mmap'd file on /dev/shm.
- open-addressing hash table
- one tiny spinlock per slot (atomic compare-exchange)
- fixed FNV-1a hash so every process maps an IP to the same slot
now N processes share ONE authoritative bucket per IP.
lock-free IPC, no daemon, no redis. just a file and some atomics.
pretty neat!

"Out of ~7,700 active client IPs, only ~15 (about 0.2%) are throttled at any given moment, and it's a stable set. The throttle is doing exactly what you'd want: constraining a tiny set of heavy readers while the general population has plenty of budget."
excellent

per ip limit *

2026-09-13 07:35:44 UTC

enabling 1MB per minute limit on the damus relay dropped the output bandwidth from 100Mbps to 15Mbps. bandwidth hogs can no longer DoS the server! i might be able to afford it now

If the client does something dumb like spam drafts to the relay then it will likely get banned…. But they should just store drafts locally anyway 😎

Its really hard to exhaust 6 posts per minutes, especially since every 10 seconds it refills your bucket

yes

yeah but you would have to do more than 6 within a minute and then hit the limiter 3 times before it triggers it.

damus relay should now be one of the least spammed relays. We aggressively ip ban people who try to write too many notes too fast.
Feel free to add it to your relay list again if you’ve had trouble with spam there in the past!

claude is building me some pretty advanced anti spam defenses. i’m hooking up noteguard into the cloudflare api so it can ip ban spammers so they cant even get to the relay. Bwahaha

2026-09-09 04:40:07 UTC

fuck you damus airdrop dipshit.
if you hit our rate limit too many times you now get ip banned for 1 hour.
cheers fuckface

2026-09-09 03:56:36 UTC

10MB per minute should be generous enough for a relay right ?

2026-09-09 03:23:09 UTC

i may be able to afford my server again after this. no more huge bandwidth charges (it will be higher than 2000bytes/min... this is just a test) ;) https://i.nostr.build/hIa6kxyHnnqH8ALO2DOFgr.png
