hodl relays?

how about relays that provide verification with bitcoin transactions? let's say there is a fresh address that only i know, i tell the relay: i will send 0.01 btc to address x. the relay will constantly check this address, as long as 0.01 btc is there i will be registered with the relay. in fact my npub and bitcoin address will be matched and i will be rewarded with a relay for holding bitcoin. so only those who have a bitcoin address with 0.01 btc in it will be able to use this relay.  

 Interesting idea. 

 This is interesting but too cumbersome, better to just pay the relay a fee and everybody is happier. 

 ofc but already volunteer people are running free relays. i think it is a good way to do free verification. i will start coding and run the relay as soon as possible. let's see how we can make the registration process easier 🚀 

 To constantly be checking for btc at all addresses that are connected to a relay is not sustainable
