I respect proof of work. https://powrelay.xyz

github.com/fiatjaf/relayer implements it

How would a project like this filter for the right people? Would the "right" people even feel secure enough to sign up for something so uncertain?

Termux is pretty good

You can do it on the command line with noscl and nostril, but I don't know of any others.

Used to host POW as a service on https://powrelay.xyz/work.html but no one was buying so it's broken right now. Working on a powbot you can tag to buy pow for your events, hopefully that will be more popular. πŸ˜…

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s, could I try and bring https://github.com/damus-io/damus/pull/172/ up to date (probably as a new pull request) so that Damus sends messages with PoW automatically? I know you said that you think Lightning is a better filter, but every single person sending notes on Nostr can calculate PoW since they obviously already have a computer whereas the same is not true for Lightning. If Damus leads the charge on this and if we can get nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z on board we could make PoW default on notes which could almost completely solve the spam problem.

I think pow is better for discovery than spam prevention. People might be ok with paying for pow for an occasional announcement you want people to pay attention to, but mobile users will not want to drain their batteries to post likes.
