What does it mean? Did he wrote NIP-13? Did he come up with the nonce method? Did he come up with the buy PoW service? What is the "tech that powers Nostr Proof of Work?"

Nostr pow is Hashcash đŸ˜›

I wrote nip-13, hashcash was adams idea

Wow, I had no idea that this was such an old and already established concept/idea... When I was reading NIP-13 I was like hmm that is nice, simple and elegant solution. Thank you for sharing. My today's Wikipedia free fall will start with Adam.

It’s a very elegant idea! Just counting the number of 0 *bits* at the start of the hash. Bitcoin uses a more sophisticated and granular approach by interpreting the difficulty as a 256-bit number. Hashcash’s downside is that it gets less granular for each bit

A dollar / euro per temporal bit is a good price

Counting the 0s at the start was my suggestion, on the one on only nostr conference call. You're welcome.
