First of all. Thanks to nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 for putting this together.

The name aegis is a bit nostalgic for me since I played Dota 2 for quite some time - Aegis is an important item in the game that everyone seeks.

Installation instructions were clear - they require some expertise, but nothing chatGPT can't resolve.

Installation took roughly 10-15 minutes after setting up a cloudVM (5 minutes).

If you have installed any of UTXO, or any relay for that matter, the process is exactly the same. - There is one extra step but its is very easy to complete.

The negative: The extra step... requires KYC. I wish UTXO can set it up in a different way. But I understand.

Relay works as advertised! You visit the website, paste your npub, pay an invoice, and you get a notification "Payment received",

The npub will be whitelisted and you can send notes immediately.

If you setup the relay online - it is very fast.

Why is this important?

The easier it gets to setup relays like this - Especially private ones - The easier it is to build communities. I am sure we will have even more ways to setup relays with very specific policies for our communities.
