Profile and relays

Set up a user’s profile in this order:

1. Publish the user’s relay list (kind 10002).
2. Ready the image assets.
3. Publish the user’s profile metadata (kind 0).

Step 1: Publish relay preferences (kind 10002)

Declare which relays the user reads from and writes to:

nak event -k 10002 \
  -t r=wss://relay.damus.io \
  -t r='wss://relay.primal.net;write' \
  -t r='wss://nostr.wine;read' \
  --sec <nsec1...> \
  wss://relay.damus.io wss://relay.primal.net wss://purplepag.es

Tag format: ['r', '<relay_url>'] for both read/write, ['r', '<relay_url>', 'read'] for read-only, ['r', '<relay_url>', 'write'] for write-only.

Step 2: Ready image assets

If the user provides image files for picture and banner, upload them via Media uploads and use the resulting URLs in step 3.

Step 3: Publish profile metadata (kind 0)

Publish to the same relays declared in the relay list:

nak event -k 0 \
  --content '{"name":"alice","picture":"https://example.com/avatar.jpg","about":"Streaming on Shosho"}' \
  --sec <nsec1...> \
  wss://relay.damus.io wss://relay.primal.net wss://purplepag.es
