disagree. relays that rate limit and ban ips on abuse is all you need for a public chat app.

To solve the spam problem I think we need a combo of PoW + WoT.
To send a note, you need to do some proof of work.
Once you have your note out there, if people favorite you, you are added to a web of trust tied to the geo hash. If you teleport, you start over under the new geo hash.
More simply:
- PoW limits spam, but still allows you to post.
- WoT lowers the PoW needed from a Pubkey.

True. But that’s a coordinated effort. Meaning bitchat will have to rely on some SLA from the relays they are connected to.
Which is fine, but it’s outside of the scope of bitchat itself.
