Hey, pitiunited. No apologies needed at all. Thanks for maintaining such a great relay for free for as long as you did. If and when you decide to make it available again, it might be worth asking around for some sats on Nostr. @utxo the webmaster 🧑💻 managed to raise a few million sats when he asked for contributions to build and run his relay software and bots—almost enough for a couple of months’ rent in a high-cost-of-living area (still much less than what it would cost to hire a professional developer to create everything he did).
I also tried asking for money and nearly made enough to buy something from McDonald’s Saver Menu where I live (which is likely already way above what folks actually value my contributions to the Nostr ecosystem so far—most of my sats came from utxo himself, with a few from other Nostr devs in a similar situation).
Given how many followers you have, it might be worth a shot. It’s a very fair deal for those using your relay.

Onwards! Let me know if I can help in any way. I’d love to see open source and community culture truly thrive here on Nostr. Many people are doing exceptional work and investing significant amounts of resources without receiving the support or recognition they deserve.
