Just to be clear… Are you thinking of using Iris' imgproxy or running your own?

Paying for the bandwidth will be an issue for Iris (npub1wnw…95l8) - I'm not sure he's monetizing things well enough to afford it. I've always seen a proxy service as a paid upgrade to Nostr. But the clients would need to set a standard and then let the users choose which proxy service they want to use. And there'd need to be some type of AUTH.

And then there's the issue of videos… Not sure anyone will want to proxy those given their size. Maybe if it's served via HLS, but I'm guessing doing it would be "non-trivial".
