we've added a spam filter mechanism to bitchat which forked the network.
not joking. LOL

Netsplit #nirc
Maybe a tokenized PoW system could help with the spam
I would love to have spam. So far 0 users near me ever.
how does it work and why did it split the network?
🤣 🤣 🤣
That sucks. Cause like early days of nostr, global was best bit. Last night, I was researching identifying spam patterns. If I find something useful, will share.
I'm almost certainly not the first person to suggest this but could you use the ecash "stamp" model of nostr:nprofile1qqsth7fr42fyvpjl3rzqclvm7cwves8l8l8lqedgevhlfnamvgyg78spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcygfl2f for geohash messages ONLY? Like imagine this:
-user downloads Bitchat
-onboarding is free
-friend next to them sends some ecash via BLE straight to built in wallet
-now user can branch out to geohashes
Is this retarded?
A stamp can cost as little as 0.1 sat, or even 0.01 sat.
It's not retarded if you're a young individual thinking of ideas.
But it doesn't work because there aren't enough sats to go around. Bitcoin doesn't subdivide small enough. There are already people on earth who can't afford to spend 1 sat to send any number of messages on the internet. Possibly a mistake by Satoshi, possibly just him not wanting it to be used this way, not sure
using Bitcoin is the only solution that works without a central authority
Sometimes you need a fork. Whatever it takes.
😂😂😂😂
Is it better now after spam filter?
