I have a cheap windows laptop that I bought solely to run a full #Bitcoin node on

is there a one click Windows installer for a #Nostr NODE RELAY thing so I can help the network that I can just put on the same box

don't make me think too much

I don't think their is nostr relay for the pleb right now.

I think it's kind of difficult because their is some risks for it to be used as an entry door for hackers as you are letting many people interacting with your computer.

Plus you'd have to build tools to manage the node, allocate memory, or making a pay relay , filter innapropriate or spam content etc...

But yes it's really really missing in that space IMO

it's a laptop that wouldn't bother me if it was hacked I would just reinstall it because it's only used as a Bitcoin full node

Yep but it's more you local networ that would be at risk IMO

I'm not sure why it doesn't exists yet, but I suspect it's at least in part because of security reasons, a bit like why Umbrel and Start9 are staying behind tor making using a self owned BTCPAY or LNBIts instance difficult for plebs.
