Open source does not mean more secure.

By this, a majority of zaps cost more to process in LN fees, server load and human time than they are worth. View quoted note →

True unlimited data plans (no “throttling after X GB”) are amazing

Please tell me what your main concerns with Nostr relays are, especially in terms of privacy.

Corporate “Bitcoin” events are a waste of time

I wonder who is paying for all the tokens to run these slopbots?

Slop will not be tolerated

A pay per use model would significantly enshittify paid relays, lead to horrible UX and allow tons of spam: 1. It would lead to unpredictable charges for users. A fixed fee per month/year means the relay just works. 2. The cost acts as a bond for spam and abuse, compared to pay-per-note. 3. It is incompatible with services like aggr.nostr.land and NIP-05 where there is no “usage”. 4. It would allow a monetary DoS for services like inbox relays, where someone can spam you with junk giftwraps. 5. Users should not need to worry about constantly having a topped up wallet and using a supported client.
