Why is having the framing of an 11 year old body desirable in the fashion world?
Even the masters sculpted matured and healthy ladies and men. What changed?
Yeah, no. You waaay underestimate how powerful modern devices are. And, they have GPUs, too, you know. The difficulty will adjust. The goal isn’t to wholly block the attempts - that’s impossible on an open server. It’s to impose costs and make the ROI not worth it.
The PoW need not just be a hash - there are a ton of techniques: url relay races, guided tours, factoring… each impose their own limitations. Just good old internet latency can reduce time-to-post with the guided tours.
And then, PoW necessarily requires that it be dynamic. The whole point is to monitor both connections to the relay AND server resources. If an attack may be occurring, the difficulty (or difficulties if doing a combo of techniques) goes up.
If what you say is true, then PoW is effectively obsolete in all use-cases outside of consensus. Clearly, that’s not true - as evident by numerous papers and their math showing otherwise.
And besides, the real goal isn’t to block it, but to no longer be the low-hanging fruit.
If everyone had to pay some sats to post, the spammers number of posts WILL be reduced. If the spammer can be temporarily identified, the difficulty just for them can require a higher cost to post. If they can’t be identified, everyone’s costs go up. Rinse, repeat until the spammer finds a better target/platform/protocol.
I will submit that PoW is not a panacea and shouldn’t be used on its own, but it’s too powerful of a tool to dismiss with such obtuse statements. “Millions” of times before a single phone can run a PoW? Really??? Have you even tried it? I have. Implemented in a large media application with 100s of millions of users that you might even use yourself.
Mail Drop. Do it cheap by getting mass prints then target the neighborhoods and manually paper each mailbox.
This is what “boots on ground” actually means.
nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8, a proposal for the WoT-Relays, to allow for newbies: CAPTCHA.
The idea should be, we add a page with a captcha and a place for the user to paste their npub. If they answer the captcha correctly, user gets added to a whitelist for a limited time (say 24h).
If user tries to access the relay and is not in the whitelist, nor in the WoT, relay responds with both an "auth" request and a private message pointing to the url of the captcha page.
When validating events, check for both WoT and whitelist.
If user tries to abuse the captcha page (3 bad captchas in a minute, or 10 bac captchas in an hour), blacklist them and their IP address.
Replace the captcha with a difficult PoW, make it programmer friendly still. The PoW will be the means to disincentivize use.
I don’t pity them. Though most were born as a result of evil done to them, they give it back in spades.
You see, a good person has evil forced upon them and says, “I will not be that. I will be better.”
But they do not. Evil is forced upon them and they say, “If this was done to me, the. The world deserves this twice over.”
I don’t give them a free pass - they have a choice in their own actions, and they choose poorly. They choose to continue and worsen the cycle rather than trying to break it.
If they tried and failed, that is something. But there is no attempt. That would mean facing their own demons. And they have no courage. They don’t even know who they are.
I have no pity, no remorse. There is no emotion saved for them. Not even rage. My heartbeats are worth more than that.
Took a long time to get here - a long, hard road out of hell. But I believe it to be the better place.
Agreed. Where most people have a love gland, they have a second shame gland.
Just a vast ocean of shame that forces them to project and blame.
True story.
I worked for a large communications company a while ago. I had access to the work of the data science team and media distribution.
They know when you take a shit. Seriously.
I don’t have a mining farm, just a mining garden.
What’s the step above a small garden? What does that look like in mining? Is it based on hashpower or electricity consumption?
They want your attention more than your money. They’re effectively salesman of your time to the highest bidder.
They do this via chicanery and, worse, brainwashing.
The devil is that the only way to beat this is to not play the game at all - which radically shrinks your world by cutting off a lot of potential good people/signal. This can be lethal in a lot of contexts.
Full control via protocols like nostr is the only option until hyperbitcoinization leads to a shot at society rejecting this shit.
Can we just stop and appreciate how cool of an exploit this is?

Whaaa?!!1 THATS ANAZING. where can I get some? I’ve never heard of this before.
I muted “, from wss://“. May catch some legitimate posts, but worth it.
The bot’s whole schtick is the relay ad, so that’s my target.
You'll want to prefer fmp4 later vs TS. TS works, but has a lot of limitations that are gone with fmp4. There is basically universal support for fmp4 (or better, CMAF) on all devices built since 2018. On TVs and older shit, it gets hit or miss. But those won't be running a nostr client, anyway.

I think we all know.
Could you automate a report on this? It would be great to have a countdown to zero / near-zero. For nostr:npub1cjw49ftnxene9wdxujz3tp7zspp0kf862cjud4nm3j2usag6eg2smwj2rh

I’ll wait for the revisions. Initial MoM reports are basically useless.
Even the revised are sus.
