I’ll give you an example: why would anyone pay for my relay?
I’ve got 99% uptime, but why pay for that when Nostr.wine has a global network, and relayable has one for free?
I’m not complaining about them being better - I’m not in it for money to begin with - but I don’t see I path to financial incentive for me that doesn’t involve me quitting my job, which Nostr will not get me through.
Let me ask you, is there anything you can do to make your relay different or better than what is out there?
Could your relay be an access point with TOR? Could your relay be an access to an online zap market? Can your relay filter air drops, bots, people I muted, can it have a zap lottery system for those that want to play? Can your relay access something involving your movie nights?
I am not a dev or coder, but I am a finance guy. Is there nothing a relay can do different to provide “special” value?
nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 was mentioning recently that he has a problem with accessing Nostr often, as most relays are messed up and don’t allow him to come in through TOR.
nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj chimed in that his relay is working great with TOR.
