there are a few others that are doing both relay info and auth that are asking for it, but it's a pretty thin field, at the end of this run right now i fully expect less than 50 relays that are both nip-11 and nip-42 compliant

and not one of them so far has asked for auth, without actually requiring it to actually use the relay, i am authing with my key and if i'm not a customer, i get no data

so this myth that many of the rockstar devs have about auth "doxxing yourself" are completely inflating the situation

nobody thinks of that as a way to gather intelligence, amazing, but true.

yes, better to have no auth required and just count the number of times you get npubs in the requests

LIKE I HAVE BEEN SAYING
