Ecash payments don’t work. Relays being paid per connection or per event is not a sustainable model as the cost for the operatoe is mostly the same even if you post 50 times a day or 1.
And $0.5/mo doesn’t work unless you have millions and millions of users that all pay *to a single service*.
No one selling it for that cheap will provide you a quality service.
You also can’t reach the required scale for economies of scale without people paying for relays *now*.

it sounds all cool and all, until you realize the ecash is no different than topping up your account. (advance payment).
running a relay shouldn't cost $500k/mo tho
I use 1 paid relay and run 1 paid relay. Everyone who runs a start9 should run a relay and have the meetup figure out how to include it in dues or something. Relays absent a group or business are dumb imo.
