I currently run and use my own Bitcoin and Lightning node, and I feel like I understand the incentives behind doing so well enough that I believe that the Bitcoin system is self sustaining.

I can't say the same for Nostr at this point though. I don't know nearly as much about it as Bitcoin but I feel like the incentives for keeping the network alive aren't as strong.

I would love to run my own Nostr relay, but I don't want to deal with the possible consequences of relaying / storing illegal content.

What are your takes on this?

See strfry's access control plugin example for how you can limit unauthorized use.

I had my own Nostr relay setup with https://relay.tools/ (because it is super easy to use)
made the entry fee at 1 sat to get rid of spam
got like 3 or 4 subscribers
then once my setup was done, and done experimenting (learning about having a relay)
I set the relay for free, did get much more people
then I ended the experiment after 3 or 4 months

It would certainly be an interesting project. if you decide to do it, I'd totally zap a "here's how it went" kind of post.

Running a relay is something I have been curious about as well, but it's not currently high enough on the list to make the cut.

Will do if I decide to go there!

Every thing was devellopped most of people go to getalby as nostr key provide them directly is dangerous.
