What are the lowest fees exchanges now with high limits?

Alright! Almost done, the launch is imminent, but I’ll wait until US wakes up, too slow now 😂🚀🚀🚀

My 2024 review and high-level report. Let's start with some stats for the nostr.build: - 720 Million media requests served - 650 TiB of bandwidth consumed - 8 Million unique visitors - 85% average cache hit rate - Improved median CPU time per request from 200 down to 2 milliseconds per request - 20 requests per second are served on average - 99.994% uptime for the hosted media - 98% uptime for the website and uploading servers - 2.5K daily free uploads on average Some improvements for the free uploads: - Increased free upload size from 10MiB to 50MiB - Increased image resolution from 1980px to 3840px - Increased per server RAM from 1GiB to 4GiB - Added full mirror of all uploaded media to the additional vendor (backup) - Implemented moderation headers (can be used to hide NSFW content if desired) Now some of the stats of my dev work for the nostr.build: - 1,333 git commits - 42 repositories with my contributions - 10k+ lines of code written, or changed Some features and completed projects: - Rewritten nostr.build account page (AI, stats, nostr share, drag-n-drop, variaty of sizes, poster for video, etc.) - Added AI Studio, onboarded multiple models from SD and Flux. - Added media statistics - Rewritten media serving front-end (dropping CPU utilization by 100x) and improving TTFB as well as cache hit rate (from 50%+ to 85%+ on average) - Implemented variaty of the spam, and other illegal media upload prevention mechanisms (automated AI media scanner, PhotoDNA scanner, etc.) - Implemented AI Moderation API that is shareable with other nostr media hosts (e.g., nostrcheck.me) - Implemented upload of pdf, zip, etc., with full virus scanning. - Various improvements to the PHP code, bug fixes and optimizations. - Implemented e.nostr.build to allow easy embedding and sharing of the video/audio files for the account holders - Referal links and account credits - Onboarded more nostr clients for uploads (e.g., YakiHonne) Some of the prototyping I've done for nostr.build: - Semantic search of the media (ML based), multilingual - Basic search for media using AI Vision - Video transcoding using serverless and server-based setups - Video transcoding to DASH/HLS (CMAF) - Multi-party audio/video chat Some of the in-flight projects that I'll have to complete in 2025: - Seamless implementation of the Blossom protocol (70% done) - Rewrite of the post-upload scanning to utilize workflows (50% done) - New video upload and transcoding experience, HLS, DASH, VBR video/audio (10% done) - New NoSQL based data-plane backend with the new API (50% done) - Full rewrite of the Accounts page (5% done, blocked by new API and data-plane) - Additional models for the AI Studio (90% done) - <Secret projects with new experiences and features> (25% done) I am sure I am forgetting a bunch, and this is only done from my memory.

Still 500K sats in red myself, almost a year in 🤣😭🫂🚀🔥

Definitely agree with the sentiment nostr:npub1rcr8h76csgzhdhea4a7tq5w5gydcpg9clgf0cffu6z45rnc6yp5sj7cfuz #Noderunning is not passive income. It's not earning 'yield' on your sats. Most nodes will never be profitable. But that doesn't mean they can't be with some effort and patience. Most important factor overall is stability; That includes running on decent hardware (not raspi) and offering a clearnet connection rather than TOR-only. These two points alone will eliminate a very large percentage of avoidable forced-closures, which is *by far* the #1 biggest cost in maintaining a public routing node. #Nodelou🐈 is currently a month short of its 3-year nodeiversary, and is earning sats consistently every day. Many others earn multiples of this in far less time and/or with smaller nodes, so this is just an example. ~MORE IMPORTANTLY~ My node is my sole banking/checking account and has allowed me to #optout entirely of fiat banking. It's my privacy layer on top of #Bitcoin. It hosts my own nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 instance and my personal Bitcoin Core verifies my own txs. It also runs my nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg that powers nostr:npub1sweetl0gskmka0n5qevt7v2wj9q56ntwkmaeywffw4ftaucmcakquhns6h, our farm webstore, and also functions as our in-person POS at farmer's markets connected remotely via nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5. I use it to buy products online, pay bills, and send/receive self-sovereign zaps. I can travel anywhere in the world and access my funds with no intermediaries or restrictions. Even if it cost me to keep it running– the services and utility it provides in my daily life are absolutely indispensable over the costs of using traditional banking services. Not to mention tons of highly-valuable education and skills acquired, and a couple good #norderunner friends along the way! 🤓🤙 I never set out to earn from my node: I just aim to provide a stable connection hub for my peers with high uptime and low-latency, good channel connections, and try to set the lowest fees possible while maintaining flow and channel balance. The rest is just patience. #runanode Connection URIs: 03641a88d80a2a85bbecd770577aca9b5495616e9fef63d66ef2631b7cca1d395d@198.46.217.205:9735 03641a88d80a2a85bbecd770577aca9b5495616e9fef63d66ef2631b7cca1d395d@zteyygsobjvm32qkusrvq4clebfbb4b2iso2jto23kzxohfxkwedynqd.onion:9735 nostr:npub19tcpurtt6xulhw0r6sc404j9jraj0h8me2lzs7z2tqewz7l0hpas59nlea: https://amboss.space/node/03641a88d80a2a85bbecd770577aca9b5495616e9fef63d66ef2631b7cca1d395d h/t nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx nostr:npub1hxfkcs9gvtm49702rmwn2aeuvhkd2w6f0svm4sl84g8glhzx5u9srk5p6t nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq8sx00a43qs9wm0nmtmukpgagsgmszst37sjlsjne59tg8835grfqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qqstnas6h3862ehqapld4spc760p57phe98nazp9ffduvpjxcax2wdgmu0g0g

That’s about right…..the joke is the guys dumping the money are the node operators 😂😂

This is how every new lightning node operator expects their node to run 😂😂😂

Why do you spam tags anon? Why do you add unrelated tags to your notes? Do you realize that it just makes tags unusable for the people and instead makes your tag spam note invisible to most. Use the remaining two neurons to consider the long term implications 🐶🐾😭😭😭
