 Running relays does not cost much compared to client development costs or relay development costs. But yes there should be an economy starting for things to be sustainable in the long run.

Right now a dozen (for the sake of decentralization) 20$ / month machines can carry nostr. Maybe add couple 30$ "historical" relays to keep the old notes and that's it. There are not many notes.

"Zap sharing" was done by snort and I got some zaps from there. Cool feature.

I think relays should adopt freemium/premium model. What do you think?

 Zap sharing?  Do you have a noteID for a run down on what that is? 🙏

 I think they changed it now. In the past it supported relay ops.

 The only problem with freemium that I can see is spam.  Eventually when nostr is popular, relays that are free will waste a lot of operator time in un-winnable spam combat or be a nuisance to users..  I'd like to see clients normalize paid relays as part of their onboarding, even if the client themselves has to pony up the initial sats.
