I am imagining a day where every 10th person who uses Noster has their own private relay. I would hope that very soon we get to the point where it’s normal for people to spin up their own relays.

I’m hoping that we no longer have to manage relay lists at all.

Perhaps along with sharing a public key you also share details about connecting to your private relay… all in one QR/URI.

Otherwise nostr isn’t very decentralized… and it kinda defeats the purpose.

I’m also hoping that my at-home private relay will periodically reach out to stay up-to-date with who I’m following and allow my mobile phone to connect to it to get updates. Also it will also use locally run AI for moderation so that it could be customized to show me or hide from me whatever I ask.

I think we’re a ways off from this…
