from the user side so how do relays defend themselves from spam and be paid relays without you authing? do you really want people to read that you had message interactions with key a and key b and key c???? no npub, no DMs for you

yes, like alby and NIP-46 bunkers, where are those on mobile? or how do you run one on your IN YOUR POSSESSION physical computer not on some VPS in kazakhstan? - i mean low friction style, not for geeks who know wireguard and tunnelling

i'd rather he implement NIP-42 before NIP-46 one naturally comes before the other it's my personal crusade to get people to realise this... NIP-65 (for relay devs) NIP-42 (for metadata privacy) and NIP-96 (for media uploads with integration to paid user accounts) and then, ok NIP-46 should probably come next after that, and someone has a clear opportunity to create a service that gives you a wireguard VPN plus inbound routing to your device for NIP-46 could be complicated with more than one NIP-46 bunker active so there may need to be some specification about how to deal with multiple bunkers, as you really only want to have one active at a time, on the device you are using, and nowhere else
