Nostr Web Client

Perhaps users should consider posting to the relay as renting a billboard for display, with the user deciding whether to continue paying for the display.

It is essential to save the note locally, as the relay is merely a display medium. nostr:note1klzd09tqmmprc862r2vr6sl6z7n8kc65jwppy5yu02dy36us7ytq62fulw

I just tried out nostr:nprofile1qqsth7fr42fyvpjl3rzqclvm7cwves8l8l8lqedgevhlfnamvgyg78spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqj9swg4 and the thing I took away most is how much I love the concept of ecash to post on nostr. I will happily run an open public relay if each message came with a small amount of ecash (from a mint(s) the relay operator defined) to me in each message.

I also think users will happily pay this fee. There's about to be a lot of new Bitcoiners that have never made a Bitcoin transaction at all. Let's give them the coolest reason to use Bitcoin!

As a user I can tell you I won't pay even 1 sat for a relay service unless it does a hell of a lot more than relay.

We just need to make it easier for people to host their own public relays. That's the solution.

That's already super easy that an idiot like me hosts many of them. You can even do it straight from Umbrel these days with the cloudflare app if you want to get even simpler than what I use.

Very cool, I didn't know about that, thanks!

It'll be on my to-do for a simple guide soon!

I fully support everyone running one for their own community. That will likely be enough for 50% of the population. If you just want to speak to the people that are directly connected in your communities that's already nostr. The problem is building large enough relays that hold and distribute notes for even larger groups. if you want to reach those large audiences for whatever reason why not throw some sats to the big relays to be included on their billboard?

Guide sounds good!

What would happen if every Nostr user used their own relay?

If I followed 200 people, my phone would need to establish 200 network connections with 200 relays.
