Nostr Web Client

In a recent interview, #[0] mentioned nostr as great, but that it doesn’t solve the bot problem (think unlimited impersonation bots spamming the network).

He’s talked about it before, but an orange check that involves proof of work.

Paid relays are a step in that direction, but will we end up centralizing around just a few paid relays?

I’m not suggestion an orange check, just wondering what others thoughts are as the protocol grows and gains more traction.

It's much more likely that someone making money out of spam bots pays the fee to get onto a paid relay, than that I do.

Yes it’s interesting how the game theory will play out. Will we gravitate to clients that filter out the spam the best, or use free, but by-invitation-only relays, or just not care about it that much and keep nostr wild (at perhaps the expense of greater adoption).

As long as I can block people, I'm good with wild.
