Don’t even need that. Just a handful of npubs blasting large amounts back and forth. Can probably be automated to look random too.

Good point Karnage.

With current AI tools, it would be easy for someone to create bots that zap around sats in a limited circle with almost no loss.

They could even zap small amounts to outsiders as a cover to keep up the pretense; that would just be a minor cost per month. High visibility would lead to revenue in form of incoming zaps from real users.

The worst type of people may be few in number but they will always find a way to game a system.

Zaps that come from your WoT can still be a signal of value, no?

Sure.

Zaps are a good signal and it will not likely be misused until we have an algorithm that sorts visibility based on zaps. But if a visibility algorithm use zap data, then we can expect it to be gamed.
