What would be your security requirements for the relay? I imagine the relay operator would want to remain anonymous, so the relay would be accessible from Tor only. Other relay users could repost notes to outside clearnet relays. I like how Nostr would allow the author to sign their work and receive zaps.

I don't think i have heard of Thor relays yet . Did you?

Empress used to operate via reddit , so I guess being totally anonymous wouldn't be necessary. Just a VPN on their part would solve it . But so would a Tor relay.

We assume she is from a country that drm laws are not so strict.

Just being uncensorable would sove it .

Yes, there are Tor relays. I just haven’t set mine up as an onion service.

I think we will see some form of file distribution microservice on Nostr protocol. Working on something in this space. Advantage would be tipping⚡️ the file note rather than the person who sent you a link and provable authorship of the file note. As the relays would be holding the files, precautions would be necessary to avoid DNS takedowns of illegal content.
