Nostr Web Client

OMG we need polls where you have to pay like 100 sats (or whatever) to vote.

This will literally correct a major problem that skews polls on social media.

I mention because I’m about to release another Meme soon, but it’s only 30 seconds, and was intended as a part of a larger project (about 2 minutes). I wanted to poll people on whether I should move into the next project or see the one I’m about to drop to its next form.

Polls on #Nostr could be really interesting and far more useful (some degree of skin in the game) than normal social polls. 🤔

So, with enough money you can game a meaningless poll on NOSTR ?

It would be better to have a "sybil" diagnostic of each voting option to know what actually happened.

• I wouldn't suggest this is a panecea that solved problems I didn't specifically mention

• for **free** right now you can game as many polls right now on social media as you like, indefinitely.

polls are especially meaningless in nostr because there's no "sign up". the pollster can flood his own poll with his own money in your example.

Yes, he could do it for free, but it doesn't give you what you're after which is signal.

To find signal you have to analyse each vote to know how likely it is that it is a vote from a unique entity and then tally from there. Sats don't solve your problem at all, nostr can solve it.
