Ok how are you blocking/muting replyguy now that it's copy-pasting the notes? #asknostr #nostr

Anyone jumped through the hoops to get an ASN from ARIN or RIPE and get on one of the IPv4 waitlists?

Seems like ~2 years is the average wait time atm or you can pay ~$30 per IP to buy a subnet from a 3rd party 💸

Ok. Then I will try with comment on the post that this abuse is not cool and report as spem afterwards. And the report will then be sent to all relays that host this note?

Is there a way users who do misuse hashtags can be punished for this? Or is it a personal thing to just block hashtag abusers? (Like using asknostr for no question at all)

💥 Your Bitcoin is at Risk — Read This or Lose Big! 💥 (1 min read)

Too many bitcoin holders are sleeping on the real #dangers out there — physical #attacks are rising! Don’t wait until it’s too late to secure yourself.

You NEED to #protect yourself. Duress wallets? They sound smart, but they’re a double-edged sword. 😱 They can either help you escape or make the situation even worse.

Why #DuressWallets are #Risky:

People who operate outside the law don’t play by rules we understand. Negotiating with a criminal on paper might seem easy, but in real life, it's a whole different game — especially when you're dealing with someone whose mental state is unpredictable.

💣 If they sense you’re holding back, things could escalate fast. And with #duress wallets, it’s pure speculation. We simply don’t have enough evidence to say they consistently work. We’ve seen cases where victims gave up something, and the attackers came back for more. You could be dealing with organized criminals who’ve been watching your every move.

What You Can Do Instead:

Don’t rely solely on duress wallets — they might escalate #violence or make #attackers suspicious.

Stay invisible — practice good #privacy. Don’t make yourself a target in the first place.

Spread your funds in multisig vaults — distribute across multiple locations for added security.

Risks of Ignoring This:

You could lose everything — some attackers will come back for more if they sense you’re holding out.

Your #life, or that of your loved ones, could be at risk if negotiations break down.

Legal trouble — misleading an attacker could even lead to more severe outcomes, or complicate things if the law gets involved.

The best #defense? Strong privacy and securing your #assets across multiple locations using multisig tech. Casa’s vaults can help ensure you don’t become an easy target.

If you meant fighting spam proactively - I guess there is no much room for improvement, but I don't think the situation will be worse with the grow of nostr

As nostr gets more popular given the incentives for relay operators, they are the ones who can implement faster moderation due to monetization, which also acts as a fee for an attacker to start an attack

I am on it though.

Which relay is that?

Ok. I have #lnd running alongside #bitcoind (and #electrs).

#asknostr: what tool to manage my #lightning node?

#asknostr

PSA: There is an incredible amount of spam bots and each has different IDs! Every notes you make it will return 4 spams at a time. It is annoying.

I have reported it. This will only get worse as Nostr's popularity increases.

How are we mitigating this aside from manually reporting it?

Are there any VPS that are friendly enough to running nodes, relays, and fucking around with that sort of thing before I get a dedicated device or repurpose a pi? Or do they treat most of it like running Tor exit nodes?

Wouldn't be a forever thing.
