POW didn’t take off: #[6]‘s POW relay was hardly used. Gossips POW notes are seldom seen, I have used both, but it was not adapted by a critical mass. Maybe there will be a window of opportunity once more, but I doubt it!

There will be usecases for PoW on nostr in the future, we just haven’t seen the right one yet

Yes, maybe, I just think transferring Bitcoin is the smarter approach. POW just produces heat (which can’t be transferred or be reused), with lightning a Bitcoin can be transferred without any additional POW and helps the receiver (in this case relay operator) to run the service.

But I still like to create notes with many zeros using gossip. This little delay makes a post special to me. It is magical. Few understand though. 😍
