You get DMs? 😭

I think a way to fix that problem is also with proof of work. Advertise that you only accept DMs with a difficulty X, and any message below that difficulty will just get rejected. Those who need to contact you will be willing to spend a few seconds burning CPU to get to you.

I don't know how you would implement that without the receiver and sender both having a client with this capability.

The one I was thinking of only requires the receiver to have a client with this feature, and could work with the sender using any client as the invoice occurs via DMs

Proof of Word is apparently something being discussed as a standard to implement on Nostr. Since every message is hashed anyway, it wouldn't be much to add PoW to that hash too. It would cut down on spam in general.

I'm hoping it will be implemented in the protocol and all clients soon 🤞

Ohhh so it's going in the protocol? Wow. What's happening to my dumb protocol?! Honestly I think adding a POW feature instead of adding a sats feature... but hey, I'm a bitcoiner.
