I don’t think there is other than one of the micropayment models
Discussion
Micropayments just raise the bar. What if these spammers, who right now are scamming people for sats, will earn much more than they spend on writing to relays?
This game was being played all along from the very start, we're just slowly showing cards. If this doesn't work - fine, at least we learn something.
We hope to challenge that! I’d like to see at least some public/free relays stick around and part of that depends on controlling resource consumption from spammers.
I think you can filter out the vast majority of spam today with simple rules/word lists.
Long term will need to be solved with modeling + real time feedback. #[5] has ideas 💡
Agree!
My thought process was just that centralised platforms like twitter have far more control over the on-ramps of new users and still failed to solve the issue. And from what I’ve seen I think it is fair to say that the current spam is still quite unsophisticated
Paid models have a new large unexplored solution space where is see many promising options like paying $10 at sign up and getting it back after a week or whatever.
Anyways, I would love for you to succeed and happy to support if I can
