Proof of zap to reduce scam,bots and otherwise non productive/ disruptive or destructive accounts from infiltrating nostr.

In order for an account/ person to interact with anyone (comment,like,DM) or follow someone they have had to zap them on a past note or have to zap them on request of intended action, only one zap is needed as verification. (Possibly more zap logic if it is needed to discourage scammy behaviour)

This imposes a real cost to spinning up many scam accounts and scammy interactions.

Although I haven’t observed many of these fraudulent activities on nostr yet as it becomes more popular I can imagine it happening more and more.

Is this something that can be implemented?

Would this be helpful to users?

Is it even needed?
