If you're looking for a paid Nostr relay but don't want to spend a lot of sats, try one of these. All of these relays are under 5000 sats for lifetime access. This list was manually complied from nostr.watch, and I removed anything over 5000 sats or dead (503 error or unable to generate invoices).
Here's the list. None of these relays are run by me, and I'm not benefiting in any way from sharing these.
- relay.nostr.sc
- nostream.macewan.nz
- paid.nostrified.org
- nostr.karmickoala.info
- yestr.me
- nostr.bitcoinvn.io
- relay.nostr.wf
- relay.nostr.nu
- nostr.sats.li
To purchase and use the relay:
- Copy and paste the URL above
- Enter your npub (NOT your private key) and accept the terms
- Pay the invoice with your lightning wallet
- Copy and paste the wss:// URL into your favorite Nostr client
- Enjoy increased reliability, better performance, longer data retention, and less spam!
