Web of trust is a retarded idea. Proof of work should've been the only spam prevention for Nostr, but devs haven't had their "come to Jesus" moment yet.

How do you use pow for spam prevention on Nostr? I get how it would work with email, because you have to have a valid hash with every recipient address in your mass mailer, but how does it stop people from posting spam to the relays when we all post to a bunch of relays?
Simply require a valid hash as a condition of accepting a post.
