Ok, so I have a spam detection relay prototype ready. It’s very noisey.. but that’s because there is so much spam.
If you want to connect, I’ll need your connection IP Address so I can whitelist it. And then I’ll let you know the connection details - open to well known relay operators only for now, just DM me.
Basically it’s a primitive Nostr broadcast relay that will send only 1984 events (with e and p tags + spam_score) generated by spam I’ve detected (>90% confidence). It will ignore all inbound subscriptions and other websocket messages. It's kind of a once way spam gossip network.
I’d expect at present it could mean around 500 spam events (deduped by event id) per minute, or 10/sec. It’s a lot. I’m not sure this scales well.. but we can try anyway. We could perhaps gossip other information (or less) in future, or find ways to dedupe on spam content or share patterns instead. Or it may all fail and be a losing battle.. a pay-to-relay / PoW only future.
