* Notes: It's one of the closer to daily driver clients for Android that's out there. The UI is coming along really nicely. However, not being to do profile management or Lightning makes this a no go for me. Both banner support and Link Preview are really nice as most clients do not support these features at all.

* Notes: Let me just say the UI on this is very odd. The Android maximalist on actually hates it. It's not Material or anything related to Android. It feels like a Windows application. That said, it actually works quite well, minus being able to use Lightning, send DMs, or edit Relays. It also supports multiple accounts, which is a nice bonus.
Do you maintain this list as a table somewhere? Where I can filter/sort by features for example?
The "end" is "saylor" ;) You're on nostr directory I think.
I say shotgun it. Like to all connected relays. It's a cheap query.

Please! Try out one little thing:
1. Go to [nostr.info](https://nostr.info/relays/)
2. Select "Show Events"
3. Enter "00000000827ffaa94bfea288c3dfce4422c794fbb96625b6b31e9049f729d700" in "Filter by Pubkey"
4. select "Follows⁵ of the pubkey" in the second dropdown.
Spam gone.
Nice! Reminds me of a scene in some scifi movie where they fling files from one phone to the other, with phones apparently having full spacial awareness.
This Purism video is nice but I'd want to see a full walk through of an actual new user's experience with it, as it's probably just a gimmick.
I suppose `saylor@nostrverified.com` is a bot and not maintained by Saylor himself? So Saylor reposts #[2] to Twitter but this account here reposts from Twitter.
I forgot :D
Is Edge very different than its origin Chrome?
I had not looked in to browser stats and I'm very surprised how niche FF is.
"per event" what? Per event stored? So your relay will only have paid-for events? Good for backups if you make any promises. Bad for getting events I care about.

Hi! You could make a pull request with this and possibly other good relays [here](https://github.com/Giszmo/nostr.info).
Somehow GitHub never tells me when there are PRs on my projects :( Will have to find the option. If I ignore your PR (like the other three I just merged), poke me again, please.

This thread was in reply of an example: #[3]
Warnings like this translate into 90% less users.
I get it. For nostr to work I just don't think connecting to more than a hand full of relays will be viable especially for mobile clients, so we need some infrastructure that can handle this without sharding probably.
Round robin for example makes sense if you can assure that the servers serve the same data and sync among them but to have my relay forward to yours when it's hitting its limits is not helpful. Relays already are not interchangeable as we don't sync between them.
I'd like to not put an arbitrary cap on mine but to cap only the free tier. As long as people pay me for adding more resources, I'd happily do so but we need to develop ways to doing this.
You shouldn't run a relay at a loss. Eventually nobody will do that. For now, it's temporarily doable for many, so some do it.
Serve these that pay your server bill. Maybe those the paying users like, too. Store events that are in demand, ... Make incentives align.
Replied, please take a look: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/141#issuecomment-1382873709
I went with #[5] 's TLDR and replied, too ;)
It works good for now but just as we expect PlayStore and AppStore to ban nostr apps that undo nostr's censorship-resistance, major browsers **will in the future** mark nostr sites as dangerous.
