For me it's $4 per month with digitalocean.com
But I don't have a lot of users hitting my relay. I can imagine a future when I may have to upgrade.
I'm also not storing media on my server. Which is something I'd like to do. I don't like storing my media at the whim of 3rd parties.
I hope Amethyst enables the ability to upload to other than imgur in the future.
That's actually very reasonable!
Amethyst now allows uploads to nostrimg.com which helps spread the risk. It also has an option to upload to "your relays" but that option requires the relays to support NIP-95.
Thank you I'll look into nip-95
Nip-95 isn't on the list of official nips

It's it still in development?
It caused a lot of drama because it breaks image loading in clients that don't support it. The dev for Amethyst tried to force everyone to adopt the NIP, but thankfully he backed off and made it optional in the latest version on the app store.
It looks like NIP-95 was removed from the official list of NIPs about 2 weeks ago.

Ahh, I heard about the image controversy but didn't really look into it.
Thanks
