Good point, new references would point to the new note. That doesn't seem so bad to me though, it's not like the old note dissapears entirely when its replaced by higher pow notes, other relays can still store it.

If you designed some kind of proxy pow event kind, I would be interested and potentially start a new relay for that. I do love the simplicity of just highest pow per byte though.

Idk, there’s probably a use case but I don’t see it with a social network the way you’re describing. Makes no sense to repost old notes, the whole point is the historical context and the conversations that happen/ed on them, need to be able to re-up a note’s PoW to keep it on relays, thus spam would be auto deleted, not new spam, but historical, while real people who care about their notes can dedicate some PoW to maintain them

I don't think POW is the best solution to spam. POW is to prove that the message it's attached to is important to you.

Not all social media has to be about "historical context" and "conversations". imo best use of social media is about sharing important messages with as many people as possible. Once the message is out there, people can discuss among themselves and make up their own minds.

So messageboard relays that can sort the signal from the noise

I’m imagining a job board relay where old posts don’t matter as much and both employers and employees by posting on a particular PoW threshold relay can signal to each other they’re real and serious

Exactly
