okay so it looks like if I choose any random geohash in bitch@ and enter any message, a few minutes later all the bots show up. so there's no way to find a secret place from bots..?
we need ecash postage stamps on messages. a few sat stamps would kill bots right?
I wonder if stamps.com will ever switch to ecash stamps.
If I know I'm going to bitch at folks on damus' relay, maybe I can pick up a dozen stamps from stamps.com that are pre-locked to the relay npub and just attach them to the events so the relay can scoop them up.

This was always the end result.
bitch@ is best used as a local mesh network. Physical proximity is an inherent brake on spam.
100%. Bluetooth is the filter. Now it's just NIP28 all over again.
Rate limiting works ATM. If you use coolr.chat, and connect to the damus relay (which has rate limiting) there is almost no spam, even in the bitchat channels.
Bitchat itself connects to multiple relays, some don't rate limit.
It’s dead, was fun while it lasted.
Just like Nostr ðŸ˜
That can happen too, if people sleep on the opportunity to improve the standard
Funnily enough I noticed a couple nostrich(.)house bots running tonight. Related? 🤔😂
It doesn’t matter who and what, it’s that everything is wide open for anyone to abuse. If it can be exploited, it will be.
And I am not sure what nostrich dot house thing is
It's the nip05 they always use.
An example, they always follow a similar posting pattern, with the emoji and hashtags.
Interesting, some cheap AI generating a semi-random slop.
I see them occasionally. They usually come in waves. Lots that follow each other, say gm & GN to interact and try and get follows. Then they can get a lot of bots through wot is my guess.
No idea still, and probably not related
