ok, you don't get it but I still like you
Discussion
this was the most recent effort to use the hashkash style proof of work in a messaging protocol.
it entirely depended on the PoW to not enable spam.
look at the date on it. hasn't been updated since 2016.
at least do the basic research before you waste your time on something that is a well trodden path.
I already told you my interest isn't in spam prevention it's in discovery
But you are too self-absorbed to listen
No worries
yes, "Discovery" as in advertising. why do you insist on using a euphemism for promoting the visibility of posts by spending a resource?
It's a different thing. In advertising you pay the person that owns valuable content to put ypur message next to the valuable content to leach some attention for your message
In honest signaling (what deer do when they grow antlers) you provide a verifiable proof of wasted resources in order to demonstrate the value of something (in the case, of nostr, the value of a message). No one is paid, attention is not acquired by affinity but by the costly signal itself.
Different concepts require different words so that we can talk about each individually. Or are you to self absorved to even understand that?
discovery means digging through random stuff.
it would be enabled simply by having a view on clients that collects a comprehensive list of accounts and then requests them randomly without regard for time or sequence, lets you discover something in the rabble.
it's not discovery when someone is paying a resource to be visible. that is advertising and your whole idea is disingenuous and dishonest makes me suspicious of you.
lmao, I don't think that's what discovery means
imagine thinking that finding burried treassure is the same as just finding dirt.
pow is the metal you detect with your metal detector. usually trash, but sometimes treassure. otherwise you'd just be looking through dirt forever.
smh
