 Are there any new reliable NIP-50 relays?

I know nostr.band, nostr.wine and noswhere.com 

But I can add more to Amethyst's bootstrap list.

 
 These are the only three that I've seen. 
 search.nos.today 🤔

 It’s come up a few times, but clearly the name confuses people. Nos.today is its own thing not affiliated with nos.social. It’s cool,  but one of my projects.  
 Oh shit! I am so sorry. Domain is indeed weird.

 I appreciate the recommendation, but I can't promise that my relay is stable now or in the future. It's my hobby project, after all.

About the domain name, I didn't mean to bother you this much. Because I think the whole 'nos.today' is the name of my project. I meant to say 'search nos=(Notes and Other Stuff), today'. By the way, is anyone confusing it with nos.lol?

Do you think I should change my domain and service name? I don't have any good ideas so far... 
 It doesn’t bother me really. Just sort of people make assumptions. There is some confusion.  
 Thank you, I'm relieved to hear that 😌 
 The "Nos" people, are the nicest people! 
 It would be nice if that list could be published as a nostr list event.
👀 
 it can be 😎 
 Yeah, but afaik nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt doesn't get them from a #nostr event (yet).
Am I right? 
 Yeah, we should create a new event kind where relays can post an event to advertise that they are a relay for search. :)  Then the client just need to get all the advertisements and list them on the screen. 

FYI nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75sprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0y8qdrm 
 If you do that, you can also make pinned notes that can be used as ads.
As long as the sender maintains the biggest zap to devs, the note will remain pinned to top of the feed. Can be checked every hour or every 24h, depending on the demand. 
 we should be able to get that with NIP-66 and the stuff  @sandwich built:

nak req -k 30166 -t N=50 relay.nostr.watch -a 9bbbb845e5b6c831c29789900769843ab43bb5047abe697870cb50b6fc9bf923 should get it, but I see it's returning non-NIP-50 relays 🤔

kind:30166 with "#N": ["50"] should get that info 😀 
 Hmm, I just ran a test and more or less got what I expected. Here's the test result:

Can you provide replication instructions? 
 You're missing `since` btw. 
 Also don't you need to encapsulate `50` with double quotes in nak? `"50"` :D 
 has existed for almost two years. 
 using wss://bostr.nokotaro.com/ as well, showing less errors than Nostr.band
