BeeEvolved on Nostr: Nostr clients need banscores for misbehaving relays, and relays should be ranked ...
Nostr clients need banscores for misbehaving relays, and relays should be ranked based on performance, with clients prioritizing higher-ranked relays. There could even be incentives for optimally performing relays. For long-term sustainability, incentives need to be in place for optimal relay operators, as experience has shown that "nobody works for free." I suspect a significant issue with Nostr's performance is due to people running cheap relays on subpar VPS.
