 Lol yeah at least for now. There are over a thousand relays. I wonder how many of those are actually getting used regularly.

 This is precisely why we need competent people to analyze Nostr's centralization story properly.

More relays is irrelevant with the current protocol.

 Have you applied to spiral?
If you need eyes to proofread a grant application I'm up for it.

 Why? Outbox is gaining more and more adoption.

 Lots of them, as they're probably local ones, for private use.

 Probably multiple times as many relays in active use as nostr.watch displays. Most people don't register them.

 Nostr.watch actively finds and lists them. Do you have an example of a relay that isn't listed?

Would be cool relays published some usage stats for scrapers like nostr.watch to gather...

 Some relays are only ws://local, for instance.

 True.. Does wss://local help with responsiveness?

I should probably set up one of those. My bostr2 bouncer is unresponsive sometimes because it's on a cheap VPS.

Any recommendations for setting local relays?
