Web of trust is the Proof of Work of Nostr.
Discussion
Its the only thing that sorta works to protect personal relays for now. I'm working on interesting stuff on this front with local ownertrust levels + TOFU so that Nostriches can have full control of WoT. I think it can be replicated client side as well. Stay tunned.
True.
By the way. Replying to you still shows me a nostr.wine popup on Amethyst v. 05
Can you reset your indexer and search relays (just hit the default button on your relay list) to see if that still happens? I am wondering if this is an internal bootstrapping relay list issue.
Done. If it happens again I'll let you know. I think its loading it from your inbox list and some path in the code is adding it to the pool despite the fact that I've added the relay to the block list. It seems to happen only once and then stops until Amethyst is completely wiped out of memory, then it happens again.
The funny thing is that the Notify popup should only appear for relays in your lists. Regardless of which relays the outbox system connects to. I may have a bug somewhere there.
Yeah. I've scrubbed mine and all alt npubs kind 10002 and NIP-05 just in case. Haven't found wine anywhere. Anywhere else where Amethyst may read relays from?
Only search and index bootstrapping relays when users don't have them. That's why I asked you to set them up. It may be those bootstrapping stuff.
Thanks. Hopefully this will fix it. Although I didn't have nostr.wine on these lists either.
But nostr has proof of work
Yep, but any simple GPU can beat most users by nostr's pow alone.
I have a general rule not to argue with people that know more about a topic than I do. And in this case, you do know more. But I think WoT is phishing prevention while PoW is spam prevention. Different objectives I'm a nobody and nobody follows me so my WoT score is low. Doesn't mean that my comments aren't real
Yeah, it works better than I would have expected.
