100% but it will be costly to run it to spam every geohash

Lol, no, its not. I have an FPGA here in my drawer that will smoke the living daylights out of whatever threshold you can come up with that is even beyond what is reasonable to expect from a phone, on whatever novel hashing algo you can come up with.

I don't think you appreciatie the order of magnitude differences at play here. You are bringing a twig to a cannon fight.

As nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s mentioned, you are better off doing traditional rate limiting and hope for the best

Clearly shows my lack of knowledge.

Relay rate limiting is a good solution, but then bitchat has to deal with finding rate limiting ips.

Or bitchat can run their own relay.

Tried to find some nice source with some numbers, but ended up asking GPT-5 (i'd rather not but im past my bed time as it is). It confirmed the numbers i had in my head.

Generally, assuming the same amount of transistors and power consumption performing sha256 hashing (i.e. 'all else being equal').

If a CPU is the baseline, a gpu is about 100x better, an fpga 1000x and an asic somewhere between 100.000x to 1.000.000x.

Roughly, but you get the point.

i do. not a good approach. i understand now.
