We just went live about a week ago with our new free and paid Nostr relay services. The demand blew our minds. In one week we could see that we needed to get ahead of this so we did a massive upgrade to our free service. By no means were we out of capacity but if people kept coming on board at the same rate, in a month or two we would have some serious issues. So we laid out the cash and upgraded over the weekend. We should be good though summer an into the fall.
Thank you all so much for using wss://free.nostr.lc we really appreciate it. Please note that we also have a paid service with even better performance and daily backups for $3 (10,000 sats) A YEAR. Of course we are hoping people upgrade:).
So please make sure you have everyone in your network add our free relay to keep us growing and to provide the best messaging for you as well. Remember everyone needs to share the same relays.
