One option to stop the spammers would be to require #Nostr users to authenticate their npub with a #ProofOfPersonhood protocol to prove that they aren’t a bot. There are solutions such as #GitcoinPassport that aggregate various PoP systems to make it less inconvenient for users to prove that they are a unique human.

Are you out of your mind or pushing a crypto scam or both?

I would say it would be inconvenient for users to prove their personhood so hopefully a more convenient alternative is found. This would be a fair criticism but I don’t get why you would call #ProofOfPersonhood protocols a scam.

Why would it need its own coin lmfao

Are you referring to #Idena specifically? If so, then the token emission is to rewards the validators of the network like for the block reward in #Bitcoin.

But not all #ProofOfPersonhood systems have their own blockchain. #GitcoinPassport is an aggregator of PoP protocols which some are built on top of #Ethereum. Gitcoin also has a token and yes, this one has no real utility but you don’t need it to validate your identity on the passport neither do you need to buy iDNA tokens to validate your identity Idena.
