Nostr Web Client

Wish we could use zap escrow to stop #nostr #spam:

For example: Set a relay or client to only accept replies with 21 sats in escrow. If marked spam by the person they are replied to, the relay operator and/or user keep the sats. If not, they are returned to the sender.

(False reports are naturally limited as people won’t reply to people who keep falsely reporting spam)

All voluntary, no cost for non-spammers, etc

Would be better than VPN blocks, nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

Great idea!

I think this adds some game theory elements to preventing spam.

I think the relay escrow makes sense. The way I would probably do it is steeper but tie it to writing to the relay at all. Maybe 5k sats to write to it. Tie it to Auth, then if you are reported as a source of spam the relay takes your sats. To write again you have to pay more sats, or up to the relay how to handle. It’s like a paid relay but if you leave you can get some of your sats back? The challenge I think is just managing who has paid what. Who owes what, And not rugging anyone.
