ASICs lol

something that casual users are not going to have at their disposal

they can then spew out valid proofs at a far higher rate to make their garbage pass PoW filtering

scrypt solves this. ASICs can grind a lot of compute, but memory doesn't scale the same way

lol! that's what CHARLIE LEE said 13 years ago lol, see how that turned out?

one of the last standing PoW coins but only because it's got such a big miner useerbase

i still haven't heard a reasonable, cogent argument from any PoW antispammers on nostr explaining to me what happens when the amount of hashpower increases, they haven't even thought about the fact you need a consensus on the network hash rate in order to actually prevent spam!

i hope you all enjoy your arse backwards method of antispam as much as this rake-boarder:

in the end that's the only way that normal users will have access to the needed hashpower, so why bother with the PoW and just use paid relays as the gate
