Relay operators, if you want users to start using your relay instead of whatever they have been using, please offer an data importation tool that sucks everything from the user or tagging the user on another relay.

Clients that do that service tend to hit your rate limits rather quickly. Which makes relay migration virtually impossible for users with a good chunk of events.

How would a relay operator determine a good REQ over a malicious one in order to bypass rate limit?

If it is internal, the relay knows this large set of events is coming from its own service. Otherwise they wouldn't know.

oh, you know, nip-42 auth maybe?

O NOES DOXXXED!

already have this feature available for the admins, would take some extra work to do it for other users, because there's no easy tool for doing nostr auth over regular http, i'm currently configured it to only allow the admin to do it so i guess some web page that uses nip-07 could hook into it, just ugh. whatever... i hate http lol realy

Or we could have migration clients, but relays need to open the doors to receive 10,000 events a second from the same user/connection.

Rate limits blow. My own relay limits me sometimes lol

This is built in to the WesternBtc relay. Negentropy.

How can new users start the importation?

They sign up to be whitelisted (cost 15000 sats / year).

yes, blame the server😛
