This is as profound as the #nostr error message I once received: "There is no universe."
If you truly believe in censorship resistance then the only way to counter spam is to incur a cost. Ecash stamps can be used to do this.
I might have an answer. I have set up a Lightning address service that accepts payment for
All it takes is one executive order. We learned that the hard way in Canada. Eventually struck down in court, but the point was made.

Hang on for a few days until I merge the latest to main
A backend component with a command line interface. The goal is to create other implementations that could be incorporated into Android, iOS or PWAs, or any service for that matter. All open source.
Neither of them are my ideas but thanks! 🙂

We're reinventing how things were done with the postal system. Until now, impossible, but now we have ecash stamps!
Over the past few weeks I have proven to myself the possibility and feasibility of creating a 'wallet' that exists independently of an app, device, or platform. This will drive the regulators crazy because their strategy is to lean of the platform providers, who in turn, lean on the app providers.
The 'wallet' uses redundant relays and blinded mints, so there is no way to track or shut down at any point of control.
I am not doing this for nefarious purposes, just proving that it is

Post to test a zap
Great idea!
I think the only way to solve the ReplyGuy spam is to have relays that only accept proof of work (vanity npubs). They might need to be standardized something like 'npub1000...'
Whoever is doing ReplyGuy. GFY! You proved your point. Go find a fix to the problem you created.
I love field testing. My favorite is airport wifi.
Successfully created a new #safebox, added funds, and zapped a randomly selected event (actually, nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug's latest post)
It all works.
The relay is somewhere in the US, the mint is in Singapore - working together to provide the services of a wallet that lives only in the #nostr network.
The only thing I need to access this wallet anywhere in the world is the nsec and a relay (or relays) that it might exist on.
This is truly unstoppable.
This.
I spent most of my career asking for permissionto build things. Now with #nostr, no longer.

I complained to the management that the vending machine didn't work.
This just in. Reply Guy burns all #nostr goodwill in a matter of hours. More at 11.
