I hope everybody will require AUTH soon, Snort has supported AUTH for a long time but it seems like no other clients want to implement it.

Another good way to track this outgoing cost would be to track the number of events served, if clients are bad at querying or are inefficient then it's going to cost the user more so it will also force client devs to create more efficient queries

I definitely want to add AUTH to coracle, just haven't been able to get to it. It's my opinion that private relays are the future of nostr, so AUTH support will eventually be a sine qua non.

We desperately want to support it for filter.nostr.wine but we really want it in a header. Seems like such a waste to open the websocket connection when we ONLY want authenticated users to connect.

Interesting, that would be a good addition, but I could see use cases where clients would want to re-AUTH against clients many times in a single session
