Got my first relay set up using relay.tools by cloud fodder (npub10np…tl5h) . Woot!
Relatively easy to set up. I love the configurability. Some of the options include:
- public or private
- free or paid
- keywords, tags, and pubkeys to include or block
Validation: I see there are at least ~ 30 searchable paying customers so far.
Here’s what I’m trying to figure out. For this to be a profitable business, who will be the customers? Businesses running RaaS (relays as a service)? Or everyday plebs?
If I wanted to run a RaaS, looks like this would be a super easy way to get it up and running quickly. So that seems a feasible model. Although I wonder how many customers like that exist. Probably not a lot. Enough to sustain relay.tools as a business? Maybe not.
As a pleb … why would I want this service? Maybe to have a guaranteed backup of the stuff I want. Nice to have. But do I NEED it? Not really.
So here’s the question: How do we turn a service like relay.tools into something every nostr user MUST HAVE?
