Your notes show up
No waiting, no gaps: the relay answers from the nearest region and replicates what you post. If one node fails, another keeps serving.
What changes for you
Your DMs stay private
DMs are stored encrypted and only the right person can read them. No public index of conversations.
One fee, not a trap
7,000 sats once. No auto-renewal, no card, no fine print. If I ever shut it down, your keys are still yours.

Questions before paying
Can I go back? Yes. A relay is one more connection; your keys and notes are not locked in.
What if the relay shuts down? Your notes stay on the other relays where you published them. This is one more copy, not a cage.
How do I know you cannot read my DMs? DMs are end-to-end encrypted; the relay only sees envelopes.
Can I pay by card? No. Bitcoin, Lightning or on-chain. If you need an invoice, this relay is not for you.
