Does POW work in event id?

Well yes… thats how I originally defined the pow spec. Pubkey mining was never spec’d https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/13.md

Pubkey mining would also be a bad idea, right?

there is nothing about a key that took a long time to generate that decreases its entropy, or increases it

weak entropy comes from things like making it out of a hash of an 8 bit number, these are like "frequently used passwords" easy to check for cheaply

Wait, is that how some people has readable English words in their npub? Pubkey Mining could be a way for people to buy custodial nostr accounts LOL

Yeah, you mine the npub

A Nostr sign device that possesses a nice npub will be the new NFT. It’s even better than NFT because it’s physical and only one copy. The base value is directly derived from PoW.
