 Thanks for the explaination. Wouldn't it be possible to have a sort of authomatic relay rotation built into the code? Let's say an X number is authomatically assigned and then people can eventually add to those. Don't know if it can even work but that's my two cents. :-)

 That could be done once gossip is in place, but this may not be the best approach for all clients. I foresee a future where we have many different kinds or types of relays used for various things. We have this kind of support now, but I see it expanding. For example, we have search relays, new user filtering relays, 140 char maximum relays, phone book style contact relays, archive relays, RSS feed relays, etc. Specialized relays and community sized relays will be where we're headed.

 Wow, the complexity and beauty of all this is astonishing!  😍  I really love to see the future unfolding, though I often don't understand the technicalities.
