How would you limit write access then? Storage and bandwidth are limited, and will be filled with spam unless you limit write access somehow.

I know nothing lol. I appreciate there has to be a solution. Maybe nostr just has to further become a silo? Seems a huge shame if so.

Do paid relays stop this, I mean even the ones with like 21sat fee or something small? Invite codes to relays?

I'm just throwing out silly ideas as a non-techy lol

If say a small fee relay was effective against spam you could could have some sort of weird system of donating the fee to a zero sats noob.

I don't know🥲

Nostr invite codes? Is that a silly idea?

You could have receiver pays fees for people who already have sats. Or sender paid fee for people without sats. With a very small fee. (What is even a small fee that is also a spam deterrent?)

How silly is this idea? Possibly incredibly silly and impractical #asknostr

Yeah, invite code to paid relay would be one simple solution to newbie-friendly spam prevention. This is not limiting anyone's freedom: users can always choose what clients and relays they use. What works best will be most popular.
