I use just 11 relays owing to my Nostr usage being mostly on mobile (some clients like Nostrudel will still show 22+), and a third of those are Blastr relays. I'd say I'm good, but if someone were truly anonymous here (and needed to be) and had this chucklefuck publish their IP, if it wasn't dynamically changing they would be fucked.

i use like 3, only the ones i pay for

if mister knuckles can find my home IP address i'll zap him a few hundred sats as a GFY

i just walked a colleague, who will be writing some protocol codec stuff in the next week or two the whole flow as reported in my logging added to a fork of mattn's algia

i can assure you, that IP addresses are not part of the nostr protocol and relays act as intermediaries and they don't give you addresses, only signed events

the only messages in nostr that involve network addresses are relay addresses, clients don't send them and most relay implementations don't store them

it's irrelevant to the protocol
