 What is the optimal amount of relays for a mobile nostr user? 
 @npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn said 7. 
 I’ve had anywhere from 7-20, and haven’t noticed a difference between the two numbers. 10 or less seems to be the preferred and common answer. 
 It depends on the data plan you have. I use 18-24 relays, but I have "unlimited" data for cheap.  
 Do you have any methodology for choosing relays? 
 No, for Amethyst I just use the most popular ones. Personally, I have a few that are run by me and a few paid ones.  
 7-10 
 I use only 4 across for all my clients:
 - filter.nostr.wine does the aggregation and broadcasting 
 - nostr.land, welcome.nostr.wine and nostr.wine are add ons but not strictly necessary 
 21 million 
 20-25
