 thanks, it is free to use though, isn't it? 
I've only listed paid relays... 
 Only NIP5 verified at my domain can write to my relay. Anyone can read. verify.happytavern.co to get a happytavern nip5 
 Hmmm, so you exclude anybody that has created his own NIP05 verifier from your relay? Why is that better? They are paying SATs in the end, too... 
 I don't exclude anyone. I exclude everyone except NIP5 at my domain. I can automate everything this way and I'm a pleb. Happytavern nip5 is only 10k sats.  
 So you can use any nip05 to write on your relay? It seemed that one needed YOUR nip05, bought from you, to write to your relay... 
But you're saying that I could write there with my '@primal.net' identifier? Sorry for the confusion... 
 No, you were right the first time. They need a happytavern nip5.  
 But why are you doing that? The incentive to write to your relay will shrink compared to just paying a lightning invoice to get white listed. 
 More private.  
 That way the only people that are writing to it have to have their nip5 as happytavern. I want to keep my relay small.  
 nice, nostr watch has a tab for paid relays. thanks @2kee

I recommend using the page on desktop though. It's ioncreadibly slow on my pixel 5.

 Here's a list of paid relays. They aren't used by too many others, but you are most probably getting less spam from these relays.
