@cameri can i work on this issue?

@a-khushal so NIP 11a was closed. What we need to ensure now is compliance with NIP-11 which looks like it has diverged from our implementation.
See https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/11.md
Are you interesting in bringing NIP-11 support to parity with the spec?
a-khushal commentedon Apr 19, 2026
@cameri yes, I am interested in integrating NIP-11 to nostream

@cameri quick question about nip-11 default_limit.
right now relay uses 500 when client does not send a limit. for this parity, do you recommend it to be a constant, or a setting, or removed unless configurable? i think constant is the best behaviour for now
cameri commentedon Apr 21, 2026
let's go with constant
