I think I might turn it on by default again in Nostur, I had it disabled because I assumed it would be a big performance hit, but after your post I decided to do an actual measurement and it doesn’t seem that bad actually. I will do some more testing to be sure.

What if anything has to be done. In the. Relays
Very cool! For what it’s worth, I totally understand not having it on by default and think having the option is great. I think Nostur is one of the few mobile clients that even has the option.
Perhaps there could be an option to validate some randomly sampled events across a given relay set to keep them honest without necessarily needing to validate every event.
I think profile updates are perhaps the most important to validate as it would be trivial for relay operators to steal money by replacing zap addresses.
