Almost done with a long term event retention relay. Looking for feedback - what would you change?

Why?

- Most relays do not accept very old events

- Some relays periodically purge old notes

- Offline backups/private personal relays are not viewable by others

- Fiatjaf told me to do it

How will it work?

1. Add sats to your pubkey balance

2. Send notes to the relay (no created_at limits, upload data as old as you’d like)

3. As our relay receives your notes it will charge your balance a pro rated annual fee per note (price TBD)

4. Your notes are stored and indexed by the relay as well as automatically backed up and available for rapid export at anytime.

Authorized delete requests are always honored and not charged.

This relay will be available publicly for anyone to add to their nostr client and query historical notes.

Presume this only really works at scale with gossip model and unrestricted read access to those notes?

Correct, read access will be unrestricted. Part of your storage payment will basically subsidize the cost of others reading it.
