Did the same today. I’m going on in on Nostr. Tuning in to the high frequency.
If you're new to Nostr, paid relays may seem a bit confusing. You just need to do a little bit of up front work.
You need a Bitcoin Lightning wallet. Lightning is a fast, cheap and scalable solution for Bitcoin that makes paying for goods and services extremely easy. Wallet of Satoshi is probably one of the easiest options available. You can also use others too, such as Alby, ZBD or Muun.
You can find a list of all known paid relays at https://relay.exchange. While this website lists plenty of relays and their fees, what it doesn't tell you is their popularity or location. You can ask your followers or the people that you're following which paid relays that they're using or you can view their profile (pending client support) and view the relays that they're using.
Once you know which relays that you're going to try out or use, you'll want to visit their website, pay the admission fee, and add their relay address to your profile. Be sure to enable both read and write capabilities and then save or post the changes. That's it.
These are the paid relays that I'm using and have been using over the past month.

Trying to improve my reach on Nostr. Will using paid relays help with this? Do you use any non-paid relays?
It feels like Nostr compressed the Bitcoin community. Pulled everyone in to one virtual building. The plebs on the far fringes like me now have a way to engage. The result will be explosive!
In the future… will there ever be a wallet without an embedded Nostr client? And will there ever be a Nostr client without an embedded wallet? I don’t think so.
Are we not doing DiDs on Nostr? What’s the deal with that?
I left yesterday
Just watched a great podcast with her. Her writing on Bitcoin goes back to 2015…

Through acts of love made by individuals freely, coordinated through the consensus algorithm, a dynamic market is created. Being synchronized with the rhythmic expansion and contraction of our heart, a new life has begun, producing one block to the next in 10-minute beats.
Bitcoin can be seen as our networked heart that works 24/7 hours without interruption. Through our loving deeds, a new currency enters into circulation to generate the flow of economic activities. The power of love that is distributed across a network began to break the bondage of debt.

Bang on! I got my eye on higher consciousness communities… yoga, healing, breath-workers, all forms of spirituality and seekers of truth. But we have to a new language to orange pill these groups. Money is a hard starting point for many. I’ve been loving all of Nazomi Hayase’s work.. she seem to have a lot of the right language for this group.
I just deleted Twitter from my phone. I’m so fed up of doom-scrolling. Going all in with you’all here on Nostr.
How do you approach the topic with kids? I had thought about creating a ‘pocket money’ app that uses lighting as a way to help kids learn about money.
#[0] is there some chat space somewhere for those heading to Nostrica? Event filled up before I could register… but I planned my trip around the same dates so will be in town all the same.
So I guess every Bitcoin company is right now working on their Nostr integration to tap into the network effects. That’s gonna juice the flywheel!
Yes! Count me in. Would love to connect on this.
Where’s your world-schooling hub? I’m looking for somewhere.
Zaps carry an emotional currency.
It feels like the connection you get from smiling at someone on the street, or clapping loudly after a performance. ‘Liking’ is a hollow gesture by comparison.
For the love of zaps
Do we have a breakdown by client? Zaps still in TestFlight on IOS.
