This is so cool. I'm curious how much dormant bandwidth out there that would wake up to make a bit of money.
I don't see anything about discovery. @andy any idea how people might discover ips for rent?
Right now the client is hard coded to connect only to my rental server: https://github.com/AndySchroder/StaticWire/blob/2e007c0db6ec8c65e2f0ba2478a31c6bff16ef82/staticIP#L301 .
As this protocol matures, I see that people could advertise their rental server's prices, bandwidth, available rental duration, subnet size, etc. via something like NIP-99 and then the client could test the latency to the rental server and then auto select what tunnels to rent based on their price, privacy, and performance needs.

BTW feel free to repost this. I probably should've waited until this morning so that it got sufficient attention

Not ready for a big launch yet, so I'm okay keeping it low key. Would appreciate some more alpha testers to prove out the scalability and stability.
