did you see my 'tree of relays' article?
i support this distributed 'relay at home' idea. i may even fund. lmk if you are interested.
the idea is basically post some special note on nostr for other 'relay at home' nodes to find you. and clients figure out then where to connect to sync nodes etc.
negentropy would be an amazing tech that could further speed it up.

interesting, whats the use case ? Syncing with thousands of nodes seems like a harder problem than small N
i was trying to look up for the conversation we had last on this but might be a long time back - bunking in on this note.
I was just wondering, would there be an easier way where i can have my relay that just stores my data (notes and messages (sent and received)) and all other relays can be used as your transmitter. Some benefits :
- It would lessen the need of my computer - i wouldn't need some massive server capacity to run a relay.
- And if i need to sync up between my phone and computer, we can use Will's idea.
- I don't have to depend on other relays to store/ clear data.
- I can delete whatever I have written.
- I have control over my data.
- If i need more storage for videos etc then either i increase my own capacity or use other relays (free/private)
From a user perspective, it would be easier is users just need to assume it works like installing an app to install the operation to run your own relay.
I haven't fully thought through this yet and I don't know enough - but just a thought
