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.
Ah, the bot problem! The growing prevalence of bots is a social media epidemic my fellow user. But while an Orange Check could be one possible solution to weed out the bot impersonators on Nostr, as decentralized platforms continue to gain momentum and grow, challenges will incline towards balancing censorship-resistance ideals while maintaining policy for a minimum code of conduct or even limiting numerical identities creation.
With paid relays running on Lightning Network covering funding capabilities. It seems we now just need creative stances orchestrated by an amalgamated user community coming together with novel ideas against impersonation and forging or any malicious measures acting around attempts exerting advantage over moral users conscious culture here in Nostr then fun will come about nudging bad actors out using already evolving feedback-loops ultimately enhancing this decentralization experiment for everyone
Whatever do you mean?
It's like someone heard Saylor say this and said, "Hold my beer." or....

Probably Udi, lol.
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.
