#nostr fixes all of this, in reality
I don't get how Nostr fixes this.
nostr has more legs!
why would you need a captcha to prove realness if you have WoT+PoW
I want to log in to some niche service just created. The service doesn't want to be sybil attacked. Then it will block me if I'm not friends of friends with the owner? Or what?
You glanced over the PoW part. And yes, sats are PoW too.
I didn't glance, I considered it, still it didn't fix the problem to me, but it's too hard for me to spell all the scenarions that I have considered it not working.
That's why I'm asking for a more concrete example.
Would you agree that it would work in many (most?) scenarios? I'm an optimist.
I agree this is a stupid time to be alive.
Just like all other times probably.
Well, I agree that charging for a service is a pretty good way to keep freeloading leechers out, but I don't agree using WoT would work for when someone wants to offer a thing for free but still don't want to get sybil-attacked or abused. WoT would solve it, but it's probably too restrictive for most cases in which people resort to the email/phone combination today -- I do think most of these cases are stupid.
global is the answer
aaaaaaah 
😠
Reversible
Because the internet
Truly
Bitcoin + Nostr = The internet's renaissance
It's really bad. Cookie accept/reject pop-up, ads squeezed into ever second paragraph, top and bottom, google sign in request, email sign up request. Human verification.
Like bro, i just want to reas this blog from 5 years ago about a config file.

Password must be changed every 2 months.
You can't reuse old passwords.
You also need a Google-powered 2FA code to log in.
You can recover your account if you know the answer to your "secret question".
You also need to recall the home address on file that you haven’t lived in for 10 years. (True story, I wasn’t able to pay taxes, even though I wanted to, until I provided my old address over the phone, listing out my entire history of where I’ve lived until they confirmed I gave them the correct one, so that they could update their records to my new address and mail me an authorization code to log into my online tax account)
Here's it if you needed another reason to not pay taxes.
