I've had to remove some notes from powrelay
A shame to compromise on the ideal of pow as the only criterion
But moderation sure is easy when notes are expensive to make

Important message at the top of the powrelay.xyz weekly list:
Very impressive. You are working at another level.
For what it's worth. My opinion is that nothing is gelled yet, if you think you have a better way,I'd do it your way. Zaps ended up pretty messy and complicated, would be a shame to make that mistake again.
PoW WoW v0.1 is out!
It is a distributed marketplace for event PoW.
Anyone can be a client, offering to buy PoW for their event. And anyone can be a provider, selling hashrate.
A reputation system based on past trade behavior punishes dishonest clients or providers. For example, a client who creates requests but doesn't pay gets a bad reputation. Similarly, a provider who delivers a blinded solution which, after payment and unblinding, turns out to have less bits of PoW than asked by the client, also gets a negative reputation.
There are 3 clients available: WASM, CLI, and a Gossip fork. A CLI provider is available for those who want to try out mining.

If posters are not anon, you can use web of trust to filter spam (only show posts from friends of friends of friends of... for example)
but for anon posters, the only decentralized spam deterence that can work is pow
oh, yeah!
That's way better

nostr bot that reposts PoW notes from the global feed roughly every 30-mins with a regular 12hr difficulty adjustment 😎
and it’s running from my nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct Home. nostr:note1wygycltnjehputk8834v260pxdp4dprrwv2te9gefx9ud5xj74mqwjrh42
Follow nostr:npub13azv2cf3kd3xdzcwqxlgcudjg7r9nzak37usnn7h374lkpvd6rcq4k8m54 's bot for a taste of the POW future
really enjoyed making this tbh.
nostr:npub1y757ulku2jrgstt6e4s7vccl7x9qn6vmdmj7gkgx78gdccxxra0swmydh8 think you would find this cool
Interesting.
Why not just post max POW event every 30 mins?
Sounds very reasonable,
but some of us have a pathologically single minded focus on verifiability and honest signaling.
pubkeys are free
if it's one vote per key then it's trivial to game
https://www.get-tao.app/ has sort by POW!
nostr:npub13azv2cf3kd3xdzcwqxlgcudjg7r9nzak37usnn7h374lkpvd6rcq4k8m54 who gets the bounty?
btw, bounty still open for other clients:

I don't think most relays look at pow, it's still a niche thing.
I also don't think it's very good for spam. Mostly it's good if you want to look at what people are willing to waste a lot of money or time on. What they think is important.
The best way to post notes with POW is with nostr:npub189j8y280mhezlp98ecmdzydn0r8970g4hpqpx3u9tcztynywfczqqr3tg8 (there is an option to pick how much POW in the settings) or with https://www.get-tao.app
haha, yes kind of.
They cost energy to post. You have to burn CPU cycles on your computer to get POW for a note. You can pay someone else to do it to though.
That makes sure that only important notes like nostr:nevent1qqsqqqq9v6a497ap846n3kfzdemdrndyytwk5auuwk8fwjpt99xvy6spp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzfmhxue69uhhqmmhwfjkccte9eu8j7sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv5m664p get to the top
On Amethyst and Gossip they get nice little notes that tell you the amount of POW:
