Can zaps amounts be manipulated? Zap a post and then send funds back with regular LN tx to boost posts. How can we combat this?
Discussion
Good question. Ppl can also create multiple accounts and zap themselves
Ultimately there needs to be a Sybil resistant algo in place.
- reads the history of an account for past posts and interactions (which may expand beyond just the current “Twitter” implementation but into authentication across the web etc). Then score legitimacy of an account
- extend the zap protocol to tie LN wallets to a profile.
We need NostrRank, a PageRank for pubkeys with the ranking derrived from the people you follow
How about only counting zaps from high trust accounts?
This needs to be thought out really well, because we could simply agree that on every post I zap you and you zap me, zap counts can easily be rigged.
