I have been thinking on the discussion I had with @`utxo` yesterday evening and @`SGT.FISH` @`WedgeSocial` today regarding the spammer.

I think at the end of the day the best way forward is to encourage more relay operators and allow relay operators freedom of choice as to how how they run their relay and data retention. Ultimately, as I said earlier today to Fish and Dan where I can see the #nostr protocol developing will be similar/combination of how the public and private tracker system works regarding BitTorrent.

Long term, I would like to see a mix of free invite-only relays that whitelist their friends or perhaps provide revokeable badges to make it more tangible?, paid relays, self-hosted relays and free public relays.

In short, we need to encourage more relay operators to strengthen the network and work on user discovery, imo.

Feel free to disagree with this note.

I like nostr but this is one of those cases i say this is something other people know way more on than me.

Either way i Welcome these type of things to make them discussion points and hopefully come out better for it

Agreed, kind of hoping for the experts to chime in. I would like to hear from the relay operators, client devs and folks working on the NIPS and what their opinion is. Like you don't really know how everything works on a intimate level and only have cursory level knowledge on how Nostr works.

I'm only a guy with ideas, nothing more.
