Email and Telegram? Are we heretics? Are we traders to the decentralized wave? No, we are just being practical. Nostr and the use of cryptographic technology may be old school for some of us, but 99% of the world this is all new. We need to use traditional tools to make the Nostr transition easy.

Housekeeping:

Please add wss://free.nostr.lc to your relays to make sure we get your message.  Expect slower support response via email.  Best support is available on Nostr messaging or Telegram.

Our hex key is above, our npub for support is:  npub1n5zapuulneh2zd37ssuh5kl88qvtznhzmsree4d7vwypqsvea9ksa6nadu

We will NEVER contact you via DM or ask for money. Verify our pubkey prior to any engagement. If someone contacts you first and says they are an Admin with Nostr.lr they are not, beware. This is especially true on Telegram (as there is no pubkey to validate claim).

*Service Level Agreement: While we do our best to keep the relays running due to networking and other issues you may or may not be able to connect and publish.  You should always use several relay providers (at least a dozen).  Also our daily backups are for the previous 48 hours.  Each night we take a “snapshot” of our server for disaster recovery. We do not provide individual message recovery. Our services is priced in Satoshis (“Sats”) the U$D equivalent is for reference only and may or may not reflect the current exchange rate, we will update when we can.

Thank You Kindly For Your Support,
Team Nostr.lc
