Happy New Year! ๐ฅ
Implementing a 1sat (or whatever ammount) cost per comment, 10 per note would mitigate their activity
Maybe simply a filter you can toggle on and off that filters out comments and notes that don'pay the fee
The question is pays to what/who?!
And the problem is the LN fees are higher then 1sat
Several solutions exist. We have Proof of Work for notes and paid relays. If I set my client to only show notes with a minimum Proof of Work of 1, they all go away, and so does nearly all of the comments from regular people, because most people don't use PoW. Paid relays are the simple and easy fix. I set my feed to not show content from public relays and all of the noise disappears. However, not everyone uses paid relays.
As for your suggestion, pay per note is a concept that relays can implement. The payments go to the relay operator.
These โaccountsโ have no metadata event or relay list. They just expose the weakness in depending upon individual mutes. Itโll always be wack a mole to some extent.
Yes, what I meant is that that or spmething simolar becomes the standard, I don't have paid relays and even forgot about the PoW filter/function tbh
It just wasn't bothering me enough till now
So maybe all we need is that the problem get's big enough that people start caring and looking for solutions ๐
So a bit like the ordinals/high fee problem we're having
With nostr wallet connect app I think you could check the balance of someones connected ln wallet and say,
if btc balance >= 0 (send post) else (ask user to top up)
This would require the bots to spend the hardest money in the world in order to post. Won't reduce 100% but should reduce I'd imagine.
For real users who have added value through their notes they should have some btc to send as normal.
Michael Saylor came up with something similar a while back.

I mean balance > 0
There are always bugs on first draft!
Although you'd need to reply or post to earn sats so I may have shot myself in the foot. Maybe it applies to replies only so you can post without positive sat balance but not reply. A user could spend some times adding valuable posts and earning sats before being allowed replies. Just playing with the idea for now.
