So, if sites like nostr.band disappeared off of nostr more often, then you might change your mind.. Instead of downtime and everyone wondering what was wrong for 2 months, NIP66 would have noticed and not been using it or recommending it the second it started to get flakey.
So, your arguments that it's more complex, seem to be rooted in a world where relays hardly ever change.

I'm not sure how you jump to "this is no different than hardcoding relays". Very curmudgeonly of you ser, hehe.
I'm sure you've already looked at the game theory with this, but what you may be missing is that even a single monitor could be a gateway to an entire nostr bootstrapping experience of relays. Monitors can have trust scores and everything that a normal npub would have. I can follow my monitor. I can also publish monitor statistics DIRECTLY from my own npub if an app were to support this for MY favorite relays. This means the data is there, it's discoverable, it's rated, it can resist the sybil just as we do with spam bots.
What NIP66 is trying to help you do there is give you lists of new relays from a variety of sources with actual useful data in there, so that you don't need to ship a new client to change your bootstrap relays and things like this. So I think it is FAR different than hardcoding relays..
There are also many scenarios, like a user trying to configure a feature (nip17), vs onboarding themselves from scratch in a complete vacuum where all they have done is show up at your client with nothing configured. So, I assume you are talking about this vacuum scenario.. In that case, the client will obviously have to have a bootstrapping flow, because users will never show up "with just a relay" and no client. Unless they were invited by another user, which helps the onboarding immensely. You can treat your client as "you" are the one inviting, and so that relay you hardcode to kick it off, that is your recommendation (as the app dev that helps these users start out). But instead of just doing that, you could 'hardcode' a NIP66 monitor that has been curated for use with your client to give people a decent kicking off point for the 3-5 relays of various types that they might need AND give them choices based on uptime, region, etc.
Anyway, that's probably very long winded, but I must defend the NIP66 because it's something nostr has needed for a long time, I do not see any downsides, only up.

There is so much to do on the relay side of things on nostr. Unfortunately we have been gasslit into "doesn't matter just make things dumb" for sooooo long. But now there are signs of life. I admit though, at this stage it is still a bit overwhelming to me, the list of tasks I see are needed to move forward.
One of these is fully utilizing NIP66. Clients have been adopting it, and I think to close the loop we have what we need in the spec, but we need more publishers and info in the tags..
Not sure what to do to gather more attention to this but leaving it all up to @sandwich and I is pretty overwhelming sometimes..
Calling all client devs (you could publish monitors)! Halp.
Here is an example of finding NIP17 compatible relays for users to choose from. Obviously they will also need to determine if they have access or gain access via membership in most cases. But it's so close.
nak req --kind 30166 --tag N=17 --tag R=auth --limit 1000 wss://relaypag.es wss://monitorlizard.nostr1.com |jq '.tags[] |select(.[0] == "d").[1]' |sort --unique

MAJOR ANNOUNCE: To prepare for auth.nostr1.com deprication I have launched a brand new relay called nipless.nostr1.com. This is the same functionality as auth, except it requires membership for 1021 sats.
The thing is, providing free services is not good for nostr. If something is FREE, then YOU are the yield. The yield in this case, was TESTING, 2 years of it. This tech is SOLID af now. I can tell that in the year of auth.nostr1.com being free to anyone, it has been capitalized on by almost everyone as one of the only relays in the ecosystem to properly support NIP17. Even as far as amethyst listing it as a "free" relay, well, in order to correct this I will be depricating it in ONE week.
So, give the new relay a try, you can join by going to https://nipless.nostr1.com
I also am attempting to educate you as to how NIP17 with an authenticated relay works, by providing this video explaining best I can. Thank you for all the testing, this thing is battle hardened now and that was thanks to you. I apologize for letting it be free to use for so long and I never intended to hurt the nostr ecosystem by doing so. Free relays should be treated with suspicion at best, especially in the case of DMs.
PV, and enjoy your weekend #nostr

i do admit, there is churn and nostr is small. But calling it daily active users when someone posts real non bot content that day (in comparison to media that tracks *every view) is an inaccurate description for this narrow view of the data.
Why not call something like "Real people that post content". This is a metric no other social media would EVER disclose because they would be shooting themselves in the foot, their valuation crushed, their business gone.
It's kind of a big deal, what these numbers represent. Remember when elon tried to back out of buying X cause it was "all bots"? And yet here on nostr we solved this problem and all we get is disappointed investoors and influencoors that have lost faith that anyone sees their content.
How many see one of the many DAU posts and then take the opposite action than that we want.. A self fufilling prophecy of a ded nostr.
I've said this many timez, oh well.. People really should understand how valuations work, cause it isn't like this, that's for sure. ⛓️‍💥

I've started tagging relays that are monitored by my NIP66 monitor to include the "T" tag. What does this mean? It means client devs could use this to find "Directory" or "PrivateInbox" relays by searching NIP66 events. This solves nostr discovery.
It also means that if you run a relay(s) that provide a service described by this list you should monitor and tag them! This will make them searchable via the PascalCase descriptions.

One caveot here: Clients do not have to AUTH with their own pubkey just to send a NIP17 DM though.. Only to receive. They do have to AUTH, but it can be with any key.. At least, that's how I have it setup. Unsure about the other relay solutions. The receiving side is where the relay attempts to 'protec', by only sending DMs that were intended for who is authing. Any other relay, that does not have auth, will just send all of them from everyone to anyone, waiting to be decrypted in the future if one of the keys is p0wned.
The other reasons AUTH is good is that if you're using a relay that is trying to provide you a solid service, like an aggregator relay, or a custom feed relay.. These you will notice because you are a 'customer' of them, and AUTHing puts you ahead in the queue on a busy relay by increasing your limits.
Anyway, that's my speil on why AUTH is not just for doxing. It's hard to implement and so I think devs tend to talk only about it's downsides. I think you're on the right track here with the wisp tho! Thank you for giving people options to AUTH.

well, I am having a really hard time telling the difference tbh. host was not very forthcoming.

I do really like this app I built. RelayTools-android. I haven't needed to do a release in a while cause it's working so well. I also have spare capacity on relay.tools if anyone is looking for a relay.
Spent all weekend fending off DDoS attacks from X Y and Z, just to keep the services up for my loyal customer base.
Someone recently told me they won't recommend me as a relay host because they don't know for sure if I'll be up for 3 more years. That was pretty insulting to me, like what? I've already been running 3 years and outlasted companies that spent a million dollars on saturating the relay market, just to disappear. So yeah, if my track record doesn't speak for itself I guess I'm just not shilling hard enough.

For those who's grants are about to expire. Consider your plans, study the recent failures that had their plans directly invalidated by AI (tailwind, lnbits, .. many others).. Consider the successes (open claw, RedHat). It is very possible there are new opportunities for plans that did not work previously. Whatever you do, don't put it off till the last minute.

I may not be good at products business, but I'm good at professional services business. I think this is the one type of business that open source will continue to support. It's always been this way for me, being in devops most of my career. I would always pick products that were open vs. closed, and this leads to some good outcomes such as the business you work for not being tied into a bunch of 3rd party contracts, more flexibility for the companies needs and integrations, and more employment.
Aside from that, for nostr in particular, the source we generate makes it easier for nostr to spread by training the AI with more code per-capita than other competing ideas like bsky. This snowball effect will eventually lead to more employment opportunities for working on nostr services than for other less popular or closed ideas.
Open source has always been a really hard business to model, very few successes vs. product businesses that draw investment easier and scale without more humans. However, it does still power most of the world's compute so, generally I would say it is possible to succeed. Look at openclaw, this is a good example. There were likely hundereds of product companies that built a similar thing all to be crushed in a few months by open source, and the dev did pretty good for himself. That's a unicorn exit for opensource, the likes of which I am not sure I've ever seen.
This is exciting times, I think nostr did a good job training the AI, and that means all the devs that put effort into it mostly-selflessly made this happen. The code lives on past the abandoned projects and becomes something new faster than ever was possible before.
The downsides and upsides are there for sure, it is worth coming up with an opensource business plan for your company if you choose to go this route so that you can succeed as a business. Blindly running an opensource business without a plan, is not likely to succeed and given it's a lot harder than a product company it should be given more thought and consideration vs. shooting from the hip.

yeah, sorry @Seth I was unable to implement nip29 for relay.tools.. It's somewhat of an unfortunate fork in nostr imho that added so much complication to the backend I just could not justify adding it yet.. I was also waiting to see if "it takes off", which it did not seem to. The stickyness of users frequenting group clients was just not there due to manybugs and lack of native clients/notifications.
I believe some nip29 clients can still use 'normal' relays but the moderation and basically everything is not supported.
I still think relay feeds as groups themselves, are super nice and accomplish much of what we want in a nip29 group. So that has remained my focus (relay centric clients like jumble, relaytools-android, yakihonne)

this has definately not gone un-noticed by me, but I'm unsure devs have noticed much because i think these spammers are smart enough not to harrass the devs directly..

plug into power, and then when booting hold down power and up button to land and stay on the boot menu till you pick up enough charge to boot. this bootloop is pretty common if your battery is too low.

What's the most-best list of nostr KINDS out there. Is there an encyclopedia of kinds or anything? #asknostr

you will never win this battle without auth on the relay. prob already turning away users cause bots can always limit lower than a typical users client can..
i worked on auth quite a while to prep for this, but in the end everyone scraped the data and gave nothing in return. (they are walling their gardens).

auth.nostr1.com is a NIP17 DM relay (and NIP04 for that matter), maybe even white noise I have no idea there.
I fat fingered some maintenance on auth.nostr1.com. I was going to delete all up to 2 weeks, but I deleted everything. Anyway, I have been thinking what to do with this relay, as being completely free does not help nostr grow and everything with NIP42-AUTH has been tested (which was it's original purpose).
The balance due on this relay is 202037 sats. If anyone in the ecosystem thinks I should keep this running and wants to help cover the cost let me know by zapping or donating to the relay directly. Then I will continue to run it and expire messages after 2 weeks. If not, it will be shut down in 2 weeks and we can all pivot to our own NIP17 DM relays.
NIP17 DM relays are easy to create on relay.tools, the same settings this relay uses are available directly in the UI. Also, haven, and various other relay software fully support NIP17 as well.

@Silberengel , going to attempt a filter of thecitadel now. this will require some time during which the relay will have no events (but will still be online and accepting new ones).. then i will backfill the filtered ones.

oh noes. they found the longform kinds eh? you can add in the brainstorm scores if you want (i know you were resisting this but, i don't see any other options really, nip05 is good too). its a big list of 185,000 pubkeys that have a score >0. or, you can use the nip86 api to manage the access from a script..

i think i broke nip05 lists .. 😭 karrot reported that. havent had time to dive in but the tldr is, they still verify but using them as a list may have un-intended allow of more than it's supposed to.

WOA or Web of Access a combination of sources relays can use for access control lists. Sources include: nostr lists, nip05 domains, lightning payments and scores lists that are calculated based on your nostr network, or custom integrations/apis.

hehe, well, it used to be.. now the bots have learned auth so this trick doesn't work anymore. I noticed and pivoted to WOA.

nostr.wine cutoff my IP addr. good thing it was on vpn.. 😭 i may remove it from my list as i wasnt getting any notifs from it and just noticed..
IP limiting is so lame, like, all i was doing is trying to stream from it with strfry router.

by doing some development on that and adding more settings in the UI yes, it would be possible. it just did not seem worth it to spend the time doing that.. i have somewhat lost motivation for auth, because of the backlash against it and against DMs (it's only purpose). To run a DM relay, it can just be a separate relay too so.. yeah. What were you wanting it for in this mode?

I imported the notifications from your spellbooks.. it's req -k 1,1111 -p $me.
Now it seems, I can't open it anymore.. (I saved it locally if that matters). Even after refreshing and trying to open it, it doesn't do anything, and no errors in the console..

i seem to be having a bug, basically I'm trying to just make a view that has outbox and notifications in a split. But the bug is, when I open a second window to select another spell it just says "ready to execute" and enter key or clicking, is just stuck there. It doesn't execute. Anyways, just reporting in incase it's helpful..
