just got the privileged events gating working on request handling on realy
next thing i want to do is add whitelisting that also extends to the follows of the follows of designated owner npubs
this requires a little more work because it needs to proactively gather those, so it actually literally will require me to create a little service that makes a query to a whole set of other relays to get them.
i think probably as well as the seed relay addresses i will hard code into it, it needs to also have an additional element where whenever it does get the - what i'm going to call "directory events" - relay lists, in/outboxes, profile metadata - it needs to add them to its list, so i really will need to add
and once it is able to find a load of relevant relays that hold these events, i can then extend this so that this "directory event" category when new events upload, the relay blastrs them out to all of the relays it has on the list
this will be a huge benefit to the network once several instances of realy are being used by several users across fairly distent nodes in the social graph, because clients will no longer struggle to find this metadata
