Idea: Temporary Private Nostr Relays. You pay a lightning invoice and get a private relay for a fixed time lease. You can invite additional npubs to post/subscribe.

Interesting. Whatās the use case you imagine?
A couple Iāve thought of:
- Testing - when youāre developing a client/feature and you want a temporary relay for ephemeral data.
- Private chats - setup a relay, invite participants. One participant is a ābroadcastā bot. Everyone DMs the broadcast bot, which broadcasts incoming DMs back out to everyone as DMs. The ephemeral relay would have the metadata, but all message content would be end-to-end encrypted, viewable only to members.
- Gaming - use a temporary relay for game state. May also include player comments.
But Iām more interested in what other people might use such a service for.
