I should probably show more devs how I did this.
Tony was just pulling the API list, on the fly, and had some relays hard-coded as a fallback, if the list wasn't reachable.

It's over 700 relays, now, though. Takes forever, unless you use threading or something. Or workers. Only really worth it for a wide search or for broadcasting delete events.

Here's how I get around using blastr. I looked where he gets the relay list from. He just uses the API from Nostr.Watch.

```
// download a list of active relays
$url = "https://api.nostr.watch/v1/online";
$page = file_get_contents($url);
$requestedRelays = json_decode($page, true);
sort($requestedRelays);
```
