Just another public message about Remote Signers (NIP-46) for client devs. Please, please stop defaulting to wss://relay.nsec.app and only relay.nsec.app for all apps 100% of the time. Don’t hardcode relays; let users choose whichever relay they want for signing.
Also, do not default to the big public relays like relay.primal.net, nos.lol, nostr.mom, etc. NIP-46 is chatty, and all of these relays start rate-limiting quite quickly. I personally use my own relays and wss://theforest.nostr1.com. These are the only relays I’ve found that work reliably over time. Everything else I’ve tried ends up stuck, rate-limited, or just stops bridging messages between the signer and the client after a while.
cloud fodder and 121 others (nprofile…f5g6) any chance you’re hosting (or plan to host) a public / free relay.tools-based relay for ephemeral kinds like 24133? Nostr really needs an alternative to relay.nsec.app right now.
