i mean, i get the sentiment
but this is like a guy with a small penis saying: given my prenatal nutritional environment this cock is a modern marvel. way above average for malnourished fetuses
unironically think this

These next few years are as existential for bitcoin as the Blocksize Wars.
Back then it was about who got to decide what bitcoin was, now it’s about what bitcoin is.

We could have had a zcash drivechain for privacy and a couple big block chains for scaling years ago. The developers dropped the ball.

i think the ideal would be pow for ranking and wot for spam prevention
I've been meaning to learn enough about fpgas to make myself a little nostr miner
bots do pow. check the front page of powrelay.xyz almost all bots lol
A good point about the exponential broadening of the wot as you explore several degrees outward.
I don't think that 7 figure is solidly established but there might be something to it.
The issue is that if you expand your wot this way you'll have so many posts "inside" that you will want a way to rank them. That ranking will most likely get you in the hugbox since most of the people in the wot will be close to you ideologically (even if some outside voices manage to get in because you've allowed a couple extra degrees)
I disagree.
Wot can only lead to an echo chamber because even if you use the most permissible slidder setting then all the signal of quality will still come from the people you already know. Anything outside of that will be swamped out by noise.
Pow is a universal signal of quality (just a signal not a guarrantee). That makes it possible to trancend then limitations of your current wot
Very inspiring how you live your principles. Thanks for making these videos.
Possible it's not the right word but I meant the kinds of insular communities that exist on places like reddit. Where you see only posts that agree with you (everything else is downvoted) and are not allowed to say anything that deviates from the group's ideological biases (or you will be expelled/unfollowed).
Other similar terms are: echo chambere, circle j*rks, etc.
pow and wot are the only options
but wot just leads to hug boxes
so pow is really the only way
nostr:npub13azv2cf3kd3xdzcwqxlgcudjg7r9nzak37usnn7h374lkpvd6rcq4k8m54 I had a little prototype a while back for a getwired.app type board that allowed anon posting but required a payment to a hodl invoice to post. if the post was deemed illegal or spam by a mod then the invoice would be settled and the post removed, otherwise it would be canceled.
So free for quality posts but costly for spam.
Even had a way for anons to report through a similar expensive to spam mechanism but even better because the reporter could take a cut of original poster's "bond" meaning that good mods would actually get paid *mind blown*
maybe that would be enough to safely revive getwired.app
we need drivechains so that everyone can own a utxo (some of these utxos will be custodied by the incentive-aligned, permissionless, annonymous, and sybill resistant federation of miners) otherwise it is not possible
