How does tx relay over nostr help with censorship resistance? Genuine Q, I'm curious.

The llm put that part in. I don't think we have a problem with transaction censorship as it's commonly understood. You can take the view that mempool filters are a form of censorship. I just look at it as flawed design. I intend to use this library and additional tools to enable open source transaction acceleration APIs for open mining pools. With exogenous ecash transaction fees and enough block producers offering this functionality we can do away with on-chain tx fees. It has long been a dream of bitcoin protocol devs to enable anyone to fee bump any bitcoin transaction permissionlessly. I have a plan to accomplish this. This will significantly boost the capabilities of off chain protocols. This could also be a useful tool for pools to apply filters to their mempools to prevent e.g. coinjoins, "spam", blacklisted addresses, etc.
