Can zaps be used like hash cash’s intended use, but on the protocol level?
Discussion
Not sure what you mean, please elaborate. 🐶🐾🤔
HC - Cut down on email spam by proving some amount of work was done to send the message to the receiver.
Zap Stamp - Like a black list/white list on an email filter, but the threshold to post for any replying/commenting npub is “x amount of sats”.
For someone like Roya, all npubs would be prevented from replying without putting up the “zap stamp” fee (the amount of sats Roya receives before a reply/comment can be published to her original note) UNTIL an npub is added to an approved posting list that waives the fee (this list would remain small because it is one she manages as her own web of trust).

This may be too complex right now with zaps being a tad buggy in the sense that clients are doing zaps/wallets in different ways.
You mean that you'd have to zap-to-interact?
Yes.
Keeps bots down, but not creeps.
Right? That might actually increase creep ratio 🙃
I disagree. Right now it’s effortless to spin up npubs so mute list is as effective as blocking bots on twitter.
Real humans wanting to be creeps to a user like Roya online using Nostr would have to expend more time and money to continue their antics.
You would have to set the price high enough to be onerous, and then the normies will stay away.
