Isn't that a free relay?
Discussion
Yes. It is free.
Thank you for your paid relay, sir! Definitely not a shitcoin 😉
Thanks for trying it. I appreciate you spreading the word 🍷
My main concern with the relay model is that it is a gateway to creating exclusive areas on Nostr that only wealthier individuals or well-connected vips may get access to. Let's say someone creates a paid relay that requires a large sat payment to join. What then? It possibly becomes elitist.
My goal is to keep bridging the gap between paid and public relays. Client side delay options will help do the same.

I think it's native to think that this won't happen. It's an open protocol. Anything can happen.
