It seems as though im already connected to wss://nostr.wine but I never paid for it?

Might be ready only?

Thats correct. Almost all paid relays are implemented like this as NIP-42 isn’t widely available so pay-to-read isn’t practical.

Free to read, paid to write. You can connect to the relay but your events will be rejected.

Pay-to-read could definitely have it's place, moving forward.

Absolutely! I already have ideas and can’t wait to play with NIP-42. Unfortunately virtually no client supports it (I believe gossip does in master branch but haven’t tried yet).

NIP-42 relay will be a good choice for certain cases like:

- Community Group

- Company Group

- Family Group

Hopefully more clients and relays implemented this :)

I'm thinking a NIP-42 relay provider, so-called, to streamline it for these groups to nostr-ize. #[2]
