 there is a fairly high cost in handshaking that's the reason why i stand by what i say - just accept the connect, drop the messages, think like a firewall, what do you do to defeat a spammer? first port of call is ignoring them 
 no, I understand that if your relay keeps getting bombarded with clients that are not getting the hint that they won't pass without AUTHing ignoring them makes a lot of sense 
 it's what the relay should do if the clients don't respond with auth, to conserve resources 
 yeah, or you can just rate limit at the http level or firewall level which might serve more resources 
 btw, i see your client is sending your events to my relay... haha 
 you have it on your nip-65 right? 
 lol these stupid codes

i suppose if #coracle  sends them out then it sends them out

ffs how exactly did this improve over relay lists?

also, when can we migrate from the retardation of bureaucratic number lists to human readable codes? you know, bureaucracks are fucknig inhuman right?
