Based on user research we did last week on onboarding, there are a lot of active Nostr users without NIP05s. Some still don’t know what those are for. Everyone might want to make this a lower ranked criteria until that’s sorted.

I realize publicly explaining how you are defining POW is likely not the best idea, however I hope there are options for recognizing legit users vs spam bots when it comes to new accounts.

I was thinking about bitcoin mining style PoW which some have suggested, but actually I'm concerned it might hinder normal users more than spammers. There was a PoW-based anonymous reddit once, but it was filled with spam. https://github.com/notabugio/notabug
