Nostr Public Relay and NIP05 identification services

1 minute read

Orangepill.dev Public Nostr Relay

Our public Nostr relay is located in Virginia, USA, accessible by making a one-time admission payment of 4500 Sats over here. The relay implementation that we use is Nostream.

To view details about the supported NIP’s visit Nostr.watch.

For monitoring the uptime status of our relay, other public relays and any future Nostr, Bitcoin or Lightningâš¡ services that we will run, visit our uptime monitoring page here.

Service status checks are done every 5 minutes, response times updated every 6 hours and graphs updated every day. Incidents are logged to our GitHub repository and details about service issues and resolutions will be reported under the Issue topics.

NIP-05 Identifier service

We also offer a NIP-05 identifier service with the handle <yourname>@orangepill.dev (this is not an email address), which at the time of writing this post is free for anyone to apply for by reaching me out via direct message on your Nostr client:

Note: Find me by my pubkey: npub16jzr7npgp2a684pasnkhjf9j2e7hc9n0teefskulqmf42cqmt4uqwszk52

or my NIP-05 Identifier: ezofox@orangepill.dev

This service is currently free as we are willing to assist new users of Nostr to have a seamless onboarding experience and setup process for NIP-05 identifier verification. In the near future we may add paid plans in which all our NIP-05 verified users will have access to our private relay.
