And all that filtering and sending stuff back has an energy cist? That is significant?
I'd to know what the difference is for nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h in his running costs between:
A. Relaying 1GB of events for me
B. Relaying 1GB of events for Bruno Mars
(I have the same question for media servers too btw)
it depends on the level of service. and the underlying server architecture. the operator of a hub will be running these calculations and charging accordingly..
yes it does cost more to have a more popular relay, or a relay with lots of data that is wide open to reading.
Do you save money, then, now that I have AUTH-to-read setup? Or is my traffic too low, to make a difference?
I don't actually know, if anyone else uses my relay. 🤷🏻♀️ They could all be reading and responding from someplace else.
your relay's database size is not big enough yet to have performance implications from auth/non-auth.. because you didnt let it fill up w buncha junk 🙏
