Replying to 5c077d22...

The number of implementations of the protocol may grow in time if this thing catches on. It's too early to tell. One thing i have noticed is that nobody wants to run their own hardware. I'm waiting for all the nosr relays to live on aws, azure etc. Is that decentralized?

If it opens up to the general public, I would anticipate 75% of relays will run in cloud providers because home hardware only goes so far.

That's a separate issue though, that is on alternative cloud providers to solve (for example by implementing more terraform apis).

People will only want to run their own hardware when stuff like startos, umbrella, etc give a more iPhone style UX. Idk if you tried them, but I am a devops engineer and startos is still pretty shitty from a UX perspective that I've been considering running umbrel side by side to compare.

I have not tried startos, etc, only kubernetes. Umbrel i hear is easy, but also haven't tried. I don't see the incentive to run a node. Especially in the cloud. Seems expensive.

Definitely expensive in the cloud, but certain monetization models could justify the cost. A nostr relay on aws for yourself is free tho.

Do you run kubernetes on your home hardware?

Nope. Azure, terraform, and kubernetes.

Oh you don't run your own hardware then?
