Yes, nostr:npub1cpstx8lzhwctunfe80rugz5qsj9ztw8surec9j6mf8phha68dj6qhm8j5e was talking to me about those circles and it got me thinking.

so authenticated relays with access determined by membership in the circle?

Precisely. At the moment, the circle is just a shared list.

But npubs can't actually share a kind 3000 list, you see. And lists get too long, you see.

I'm still thinking about this. I guess relay-based communities are the new circles.

Do I even need a list event, for this? I can just use the whitelist on the relay, but then the list isn't publicized and I wouldn't be able to auto-update the relay list, just by adding someone to the client list. I'm using the client list as a controller, basically, but it's a redundant list.

Can the relay publish the whitelist, upon request? Could there be direct manipulation of the relay list from a client?
