I’m using a m1 MacBook and it did a pow34 in about 24 hours - and it actually gave me a pow36! I can probably answer questions on the rana usage if you wanna ask.

Thoughts on public key PoW as one measure for spam deterrence?

Don’t like that it potentially forces you to migrate to a new key if the difficulty increases. How about posting notes which attach a piece of PoW to the key you already have?

Don’t think I’ll increase the PoW requirement any time soon. It’s a good deterrent as-is. The reason the relay has pow32 in the name should serve as an indication of that.

Nevertheless, I’m playing with other ideas to allow standard pubkeys from accessing the relay with other means of PoW: Satoshi’s.

Where can I learn about the raw probability of and computational resources required to generate POW of N length?

also curious on this front. I'll put in 1000 sats per good link

Same =D

Your npub1qqqqqqqpsys92t66uwgxlqydvdpy50xegf94kv87qvzzum2k658shwaclj is pow 36?

I’m counting 39 zero bits actually… I guess Rana doesn’t report the zeroes of the first non-zero nibble?
