I don’t want to give anybody ideas, but I’m just thinking about a potential scam that could happen on nostr, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Scammer ups a server pitches it as a paid relay, pitches spam filtering and whatnot, charges ~4K-5k sats per admission, get’s around 1k users. Making about 500000 sats.

Then closed the server and goes home.

Would getting 1k users per relay be that hard to achieve? Is there a relay listing that rates relays? Like member.cash rates profiles?

This is why I thought paid relays wasn't the best idea.

I do think we should be paying people who are literally supporting the infrastructure that runs this platform. But we should also be doing something about cases like these, as I said a member.cash type service for relays should be help us avoid a lot of this.
