Is anyone working on ecash relays?

Here's what I mean: instead of paying for a subscription to a relay, what if a min amount of ecash has to be attached to a note for the relay to accept it? (locked to the relay npub of course)

Is this already a thing?

Could be useful for "archive this" or whatever, similar how we OTS stuff with NIP-03 right now

Archived for how long? I see some risk in paying a fee all up front and just hoping that the relay doesn’t walk away after a year.

There could be a model where you pay a low fee for archiving things, and have to pay a large fee the moment you want to retrieve the events. The archive could use tape, which is dirt cheap, and retrieval would be slow.

Would be interesting to see what the costs are, ideally the cheap archiving fee's would be enough to (barely) cover the costs involved (assuming scale), and then all the profit is in the retrieval requests.
