What's the tldr on NotABot? Who's behind it?
I think I get the basic concept (we vouch for each other being real accounts w/some reputational/credibility risk if we endorse a scammer or bot).
Where's it heading? Exclusive relay? Is it just get 5 endorsements, give 5 endorsements?
Hey Keith… That would be me. We took the shuttle to Uvita together. It was great meeting you and hanging a bit at Nostrica.
I updated the copy on the site last night, so hopefully it does a better job of explaining the concept. But yeah, the idea is to launch a relay that uses NotABot to filter out spam. It could really work in a variety of situations where a service wants to avoid the overhead of filtering bots.
Building the app was step one. Step two is POC relay. Step three is mechanisms to defend our network from any bad actors.
This was really just me wanting to learn to build on Nostr (and I’m still learning). I wanted to try to make something somewhat novel that could only be done here. I figured there were enough clients and they were already really good. So far it seems to be working, which is pretty incredible to see. 😊
Let me know if you have any other question. I’m always down to talk about it. 🤙
