You can receive blocks over the Internet too. But headers have expensive proof of work which is costly to fake.

we're back around the circle, if you're only relaying blocks to the network how do you expect your transactions to get into those blocks 😅 (the answer: you'd have to mine them)

You assume your node needs to relay transactions. But that’s untrue.

You can even do that via their onion service over tor

looks like you solved it, everyone run block relays and push your txs to nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2

you're trolling arent you 😵‍💫

like... what if blockstream goes down st the exact moment you need it or a flock of birds shits on your satellite dish, perhaps consider mitigating central points of failure by running a node

Not trolling. Doctor. Busy. I feel you have a genuine misunderstanding of the problem. Relay standard transaction is super easy and absolutely doesn’t require a node.
