Then miners can spam relays for almost free? 🤷 Miners could sell that capability ... Anyway, I'm sure you can do better. Use Cashu to reward the first m of n relay operators in a transparent way. I assume, mints can execute arbitrarily complex logic so it should be no problem to have a way to reward the first 5 of enumerated 15 relays for picking up a note. People would have to track if the relays take the money but delete the reward or if they retain the event for a reasonable amount of time but this way at least the relays would get directly rewarded for building the infrastructure. To avoid centralization, we would need ways to spread the load, favoring less central relays but with the outbox model, people already can use their own relays and have little benefit of using centralized ones. nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg

How do you prove there is no bias in the reward system or the mint's accounting be very off? In the end, you reinvent direct-to-relay payments.
Nothing wrong with direct-to-relay payments. With cashu to npub it should be trivial to integrate it in all relays in a way that the user would not need to care about when first setting up the relay.
In the background, 99% of the time it will fail to LN. I do not trust some random mint’s “locked sats”. Many people do not either. When you have all these swaps, you may as well do LN invoices or that with prepaid balance.
