There's more happening on Nostr than just shitposts.

I've gone back and forth on whether relays should be infrastructure or communities, and by now I'm firmly in the "infrastructure" camp. They should be a boring implementation detail that users should never have to think about unless something is wrong - like DNS.

I don't know why it took like 4 years to discover this advancement in Nostrology that's incredibly obvious.
Make other relays in the pool race the fastest relay. No complex scoring system or relay manager needed. Just start a very short timeout (eg 200ms) after the first EOSE from any source to allow for other relays to get a word in.
This prioritizes fast relays, as we should. It might even come down to latency of whichever relays are closest to you (a happy accident of this system that promotes geographical distribution).

The trick to fast Nostr clients is to start a short timeout counter after any relay in the group returns an EOSE.

I think we should have Relay Packs similar to Follow Packs and people should configure a Relay Pack. That way somebody else can be updating the relay list for them.

Interesting idea but I want to know more about how it works to decide if it's actually realistic/efficient? ngit (NIP-34) is purpose-designed and already deeply integrated into Shakespeare. Using Blossom servers is a novel idea that repurposes existing infra (very good) but I can't envision how it could work beyond being a neat idea/toy experiment.
