I’ve said it before but worth mentioning again, running a public relay with good performance + uptime is a challenge that requires skills and free time. You can’t just run the relay and walk away.
That’s part of what makes filter.nostr.wine valuable. You get to read from and write to the biggest relays (when they are working) and not get slowed down by them when they break.

How are you managing to maintain a public relay or is this one big experiment?
Would you turn it off one day?
nostr.wine/filter.nostr.wine are paid relays so we hope to be able to sustain them that way. We expect to require recurring payments for filter.nostr.wine in the future to make it sustainable.
Free/public relays have it harder for sure because they need to serve “everyone” while still managing costs/performance.
