according to nostr:npub15n94rarp3n7dz6edx9cugeshn0kcuxtugwu9nzprkpx7yekw7ygqplqru4's dashboard, there are 17k publicly accessible nodes on the bitcoin network. this seems surprisingly low to me. there are hundreds of thousands of users on nostr alone. what's your excuse to not support the decentralisation and anti-fragility of the network?

Most are probably non public nodes (no open ports). More people should set listen=1
