Many of you asked me for solution for this kind of problem. But that will make it only gives all notes from "following", not the global section.

What do i mean is making the relay to only retrieve events from atleast 1 authors (0 authors on filter? No global feed or events returned. That's it).

And above will impact the following:

- relay will not give all new events that the relay got

- relay will only give events that requests for an individuals.

But could also solve the entire spam problem in massive scale.

Still not understand the solution?

I will made a code for relay software as an example in JS:

// We do not want to give clients all events that the relay got

// So if client did not request atleast 1 authors pubkey, Then reject

if (!filter.authors.length)

return ws.send(JSON.stringify([

"NOTICE", "Atleast 1 author pubkey was provided"

]));
