That&#39;s why anybody can run them. That&#39;s why the decentralization works. They require low processing power, low space. People don&#39;t need an incentive to run them (hell I ran one on a 13 year old PC with a Pentium and some additional HDD slapped on)&#xA;&#xA;Nostr relays don&#39;t have a set limit to their applications (literally &#34;AND OTHER STUFF&#34;). Basically, they could be doing anything at one point. Especially with the pace at which things are developing.&#xA;&#xA;Right now people run relays because they like to and they might even be relatively cheap (I don&#39;t know), but at some point it might become so burdensome that they would need a revenue model. And few people will use paid relays.&#xA;&#xA;You could end up with a situation like Tor, where 2/3 of the network is in the hands of three letter agencies that don&#39;t mind doing all kinds of nasty shit.&#xA;&#xA;Anyway, just my opinion. I hope I am proven wrong.</html></oembed>
