Recently I decided subscribe to a paid nostr relay (kollider.xyz) and since then I have been trying to figure out whether the paid relay service is worth the sats. That is, it is delivering a good service. But that automatically leads to ask: what a
good service
stands for? How is measured? Deciding whether a relay is providing a good service
is just an instance of the more general questions:- What are the possible metrics for relay performance?
- Introduce a
partial ordering
on the space of relays: whetherrelay_a
>=relay_b
is true (relay_a
has better performance thanrelay_b
).
relay_a
has the broadest set of users with lowest latency thanrelay_b
? Is there an algorithm to accomplish this task?good service
stands for?"good service
.
