"Adds PoW Display to notes by @vitorpamplona"
I know what PoW is, what does it mean in this case for Nostr?
Discussion
I think it means that a client has to perform some amount of computation before sending a note, as verified by the hash of the note?. Not sure how the scale works though.
What version of amethyst?
My understanding is that NIP-13 defines a mechanism for updating an event repeatedly event with a special tag value, before it is published, until the hashed event id begins with a certain number of 0’s
The idea being that the publisher needed to apply a certain level of effort in order to generate the event (and therefore is prevented from spamming by the consequent economics).
Then relays and clients can filter messages based on the level of difficulty the events passed to be created.
Hope this makes sense. I’m pretty new here, so this is just my (probably naive) reading of NIP-13
