Well we have to pay for the service then! What costs the most when running a node?
i don't know... they're paying hundreds of dollars a month.
That’s definitely not sustainable with a one time payment.
There should be a zap button in the nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 relay settings to donate & support
