A pay per use model would significantly enshittify paid relays, lead to horrible UX and allow tons of spam:

  1. It would lead to unpredictable charges for users. A fixed fee per month/year means the relay just works.

  2. The cost acts as a bond for spam and abuse, compared to pay-per-note.

  3. It is incompatible with services like aggr.nostr.land and NIP-05 where there is no “usage”.

  4. It would allow a monetary DoS for services like inbox relays, where someone can spam you with junk giftwraps.

  5. Users should not need to worry about constantly having a topped up wallet and using a supported client.
