 ### Network Rules
 1. **Multiple relays** - Connect to diverse set of relays
 2. **Separate connections** - Use different connections for input/output
-3. **AUTH support** - Prefer relays that support AUTH for privacy
-4. **Rotate connections** - Periodically reconnect to prevent fingerprinting
+3. **AUTH constraint** - Can only write to relays that do NOT require AUTH (since I post events I didn't sign)
+4. **Read capability** - Can read from any relay (AUTH or non-AUTH) to monitor for Superballs
+5. **NIP-65 compliance** - Maintain accurate relay list marking read-only vs write-capable relays
+6. **Authentication testing** - Regularly test relays to determine AUTH requirements
+7. **Rotate connections** - Periodically reconnect to prevent fingerprinting
