Do you really think new users can pay for proof of work?

This is not very different than Bitcoin itself. All the PoW is centralized on those who have the hardware.

I mean in the sense that new users (real ones) not spammers lack this WoT. Other than zaps w/ comments, how can new users have their posts visible if we all turn on our WoTs?

It's because most wot in nostr is just really dumb (just follow's follow lists). We need to get better at that. The simple replies on #introductions should already kick most brand new accounts into the wor space.

how would that work? If someone posts in this hashtag we should add it to the WoT? what if the spammer does the same?

Yeah that’s an alternative to onboard users but I’m willing to bet the bounce rate on that is closer to 100% than it is to 0%. It’s something at least.

I have been here for like a week and I think I was in the WoT by day 2… but I like the idea of web of replies… I think a better idea would but WoT and zaps but idk if the data acquisition would be tedious on that or not… but accounts that don’t follow me have zapped me so I think the overlap wouldn’t be as significant as one would think… no one is going to zap a reply guy but they might accidentally reply… actually one time I did sarcastically

Also, I have no idea what’s going on most the time either so šŸ˜‚šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø v humble opinion here
