Nostr Web Client

Here's how I hit 1 million followers.

Key takeaways:

- over half the Nostr listed relays are using some sort of spam mitigation technique(s)

- the attack was still achieveable

- socal media is easily manipulated

- follower counts and engagement are worthless

- content is the real treasure

Hello there!

Did you consider adding a how web of trust fixes this segment 👀

Please Login to reply.

I did not for this exercise. Web of trust isn't a great control by itself as others like PGP/GPG have tried it prior and it's manipulatable as well.

That would probably have been better to test, honestly.

What you did so far is essentially already known and accepted.

I’m curious how WOT doesn’t work when everyone’s public keys are available.

How would WoT apply to other event types though? I can spam whatever data and event types I want, regardless of follower algorithms.

If the sender pubkey is not in the WoT the entire event is discarded, event type is irrelevant
