#asknostr

PSA: There is an incredible amount of spam bots and each has different IDs! Every notes you make it will return 4 spams at a time. It is annoying.

I have reported it. This will only get worse as Nostr's popularity increases.

How are we mitigating this aside from manually reporting it?

Paid relays generally get less spam due to increased cost for an attacker

Which relay is that?

For example nostr.wine

I am on it though.

If you meant fighting spam proactively - I guess there is no much room for improvement, but I don't think the situation will be worse with the grow of nostr

As nostr gets more popular given the incentives for relay operators, they are the ones who can implement faster moderation due to monetization, which also acts as a fee for an attacker to start an attack

Also I would like to highlight the fact that attacker seem to use only free relays, so at some point of time paid relays can isolate "bad" neighborhood vulnerable to spam attacks

I guess we will have to watch and see how it will all play out. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated 🤓

I noticed that I am only experiencing the spam through Amethyst and not on my primal client! 🤔
