I've had trouble finding this number in the past - approximately how many relays are running right now? Is that publically-available information?
i guess we don't really know and that's kind of the beauty of it, because entire segments of the network could be hidden behind the Great Firewall of China, for example, and we'd never know. there are also certain relays like Japanese relays, that only allow Japanese IP addresses to connect.
but if you check out https://nostr.watch that will give you a good idea on the size of the network and probably most of the relays that are available.

https://nostr.watch is all that you need

@sandwich (i don't know if this is him on SN) is the dev behind nostr.watch. it's a great resource.

Info is available on https://stats.nostr.band (and surely a few more similar services). It now says 3000+ relays, but it is unclear whether all of them are active.
