What about requiring a payment to show up in the leaderboard and querying the list of participants for flappy nostritch notes. Enforcing a pay to cheat sort of thing, while having the ability to remove participants from the list. So if 5 flappy nostritch games came out, users would be on all of them but would pay to be on the leaderboard.

If there's a WoT for trusted flappy bird users, that's what the actual filtering is, payments are a low barrier to entry. Also if the cheater is smart, it'd be almost impossible to detect them. Like don't make super high schools, just make it be the top score.
It's a fun experiment. We'll see how long it lasts 😅
Yes, you can add a feature for leaderboards between trusted users or something and when can kick nostr:nprofile1qqsxqn5kuzvex6ssfzpetzcypdrkwts0qjxf3tre8umllex8yqneavspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5q3samnwvaz7tmswfjk66t4d5h8qunfd4skctnwv46qmhhffh out when he broadcasts his 69420 score, though I'm not sure I fully trust his 62 either 🙄
Yeah it’s definitely more fun with the leaderboard even though you just whipped up something easy that works
That’s better, but anyone could still manually broadcast the event without paying
There should no 1 leaderboard.
Payments to centralized parties don't solve this problem either. It just reinvents existing enshittified apps.
Web of trust should filter out untrusted pubkeys for users, so everyone sees their own subjective leaderboard.
This is one of the most profound paradigms only nostr enables.
Wild. So leaderboards should operate like "the" mempool. The RUNSTR leaderboard should be a web of trust based feed of 1301 notes. ✍️
