My zap’s worth:
Running a node is easy. Holding your own Bitcoin keys is the critical part.
Running a Nostr relay is worthless the easy way, and I haven’t bothered with an effective way that’s harder. Yet, I hold my own social keys and use Nostr on the backs of others. This is fine until my speech is infringed. Then the hard way is available to me if projection of my voice is important enough.

Needs to be worthwhile for devs
to build user friendly relay management to easily configure support for desired NIPs and set behaviors as desired for storage and traffic. This is what will allow individuals and non-projects to run relays effectively. I have a Start9 sitting there doing shit for me on Nostr because the software is bare bones, and the clients I use don’t support .onion nostr traffic. Those two incompatibilities are prohibitive. Puts me in the Primal garden.
