Great read! I guess you'd want relays to have websocket connection slots that clients could bid for with POW, then storing events could work like powrelay or maybe there'd be some kind of time expiration component. I just wanted to collect most precious events in one place but resource allocation with pow would be awesome too.

Hey, any thoughts in using RandomX (CPU-only POW algo) for these kind of things? So that in long term more clients can provide their own POW and not have ASICs messing things up.
