IE: there are two relays fully dedicated to NIP66 data that I know of. They are: wss://monitorlizard.nostr1.com (me) and wss://relaypag.es (nostr watch)

The monitors concept is interesting too, as anyone can run a monitor. It's just a pubkey, that if a user wanted to, they can subscribe to a set of these monitors by pubkey as well.

Amethyst could spread these events around more if you want more decentralization, currently, I'm not sure where all you can find them besides these relays.

Anyway, just another nip66 post. Eventually someone will use it (jumble does!) because it's awesome and solves a lot of relay problems. (Like geo / feature discovery). In this case, you could use it for liveness check without having to connect to the relay at all.

amethyst users could be monitors themselves, cache some of it locally for startup, publish their results for others that follow them or etc.. lots of possibilities. it only needs to check once a day or etc to be effective in getting rid of ded relays.

Frankly the dead relays aren't much of an issue since we only try to connect from time to time, with progressively longer delays. The real issue are the duplicated or buggy ones because it makes the app download things twice or three times.

ohh, ok. i assumed de-dupe would be easy. but yeah I imagine my follow list has a lot of wine filter subscribers if that is all this is.. 🤔
