Private Nostr Relay Suite

NostrGator v1.0.1 is here - and we've just crossed into uncharted territory!

This is the FIRST complete Nostr infrastructure solution (That I know of) with built-in Lightning sovereignty. No external wallet dependencies. No compromises. Just pure, unadulterated digital freedom.

⚑ What Makes This Historic?

Lightning Wallet Integration: We've integrated Alby Hub as our 20th service, giving you a self-hosted Lightning wallet with full Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) support. Zap directly from your own infrastructure using your own relays for maximum privacy.

Complete Sovereignty Stack:

πŸ—οΈ 11 Specialized Nostr Relays (General, DM, Media, Social, Cache, Files, Long-form, Live Events, Marketplace, Games, Bridge)

⚑ Lightning Wallet with NWC (NEW!)

πŸ”’ NIP-05 Identity Verification

πŸ“ Professional File Server (NIP-96 + Blossom)

🌐 Federation Engine with Tor proxy

πŸ“Š Enterprise Monitoring with Prometheus

πŸ›‘οΈ Security & Health Monitoring

πŸ”„ Event Mirroring for hybrid sovereignty

🎯 Why This Changes Everything

Financial + Communication Sovereignty: For the first time, you can run your entire Nostr AND Lightning infrastructure locally. Your zaps, your data, your relays, your rules.

Lightning Address Ready: Configure your own Lightning address and receive payments directly to your self-hosted wallet.

Client Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Damus, Amethyst, Primal, iris.to, and any NWC-compatible client.

Sub-5ms Performance: Your local relays are 100x faster than public relays (which average 100-500ms).

πŸ› οΈ Technical Excellence
