He had to take down the relay because the HD got full. It goes to show that having a free relay fills up the relay with scammers and bots. Charging a couple of Satoshi to connect to it would of solved the scammers and bots problem and the HD would of never got full.
Now the relay is down when I needed it most.
There are such paid relays out there already
ya and the paid relays don't get nuked because it's mostly only real users on it which is exactly my point.
Damus has an interest in providing a working relay for its new users that start using the app no? It makes sense for it to not have barriers such as payments.
Frankly it also just needs to provide that service for about a week or so, such that users can get up to speed and find relay footing elsewhere.
The fact it is months today is just lucky because we are early.
Atleast thats how i see it, but i have nothing to do with damus🤷♂️
yeah its just there to provide a reliable experience for damus users for day to day posts. there are no guarantees on retention. I would be skeptical of anyone making guarantees, even if paid.
when u needed it most? 😂
