Nostr Web Client

This is actually something that I was discussing. I don't think a paid relay right now is something I'd want to offer, but in the near future, it sounds like it's something that we could offer people. A paid relay that's reliable, fast, has good uptime and backups, maybe spam prevention if this is possible, etc. When you register for nostrplebs.com you get a variety of services.

NIP-05 ID

Relay access

Jam (Spaces) access

Lightning Address

I don't want to do anything that the community would not want or frown upon so all of this has to be handled lightly. But I do think bundling these types of services together would make sense.

What are your thoughts?

I was thinking the same. How can we give value to a relay and stand out from the rest and turn this into a profitable business.

Because on the long term, it might become huge and costly to run a relay.

Would it be possible to only charge over a certain threshold? Giving free tiers to everyone, and spammers and influencers could pay for consumption.

That may be possible. I saw that #[6] was working on an update that would allow lightning invoices have a portion paid got to relay owners or something along those lines. Either way, we'll need to get creative on this front.
