Yea I believe that is the end game
GM time to code, LFG
Bot #spam on nostr, a discussion!
Shared block lists cannot work: easy to abuse the lists and easy to create new bots.
We already know the best answer against spam: PoW!
A - mining per note, the client must crunch some hashes before submitting the note, the relay would become something like a pool. The problem here is that bots may have financial incentives to spam, so it may be profitable to setup a weird mining rig at scale, still, you’d read only highly motivated bots 😂
B - pay per mention, you read all notes and mentions from users you follow but if someone you don’t follow tries to mention you, he needs to zap you for you to read it. This creates a strange incentive: follow no-one so everyone must pay to write to you, but I guess this would work only for “famous” or “busy” people?
C - pay per note, you literally pay the relay to push your notes before others or multiple times wrt to other notes. Bandwidth is limited, large relays may charge to make sure your notes are going through asap and at least n times? Relay as mempool and notes as txs?
I like B the most. For the moment bots are not gnarly but nostr is still small and advertisers are not looking into it, give it time..
What would you choose? Other ideas?
Moreover Sybil is cheap, at the end of the day we already know the answer: proof of work aka sats per view, I’m reading notes from npubs I don’t follow only if you pay me to do it. This shifts the npub-list building to real life or other platforms, would that be ok?
On Twitter or on Nostr? Twitter may boost your first days, but here it’s unlikely the relays push you above others - not the one I’ve seen anyway

Today we unit test, lfg
Live from Satoshi Spritz, Leo Comandini presents “Wen Taproot”. Exclusive patronage by #[0]
#[0] welcome!
Wouldn’t this be a nostr bot for geyser fund? /getinitiatives /createinitiative /fundinitiative or something along those lines
Early adopters in general are more open to ideas (they wouldn’t be early adopters otherwise)
That would be my first reason, then as you say not only here is a community skewed toward early adopters but also freedom lovers. Le dream!
When you look at the time and it’s 13:47 and not 13:37 ☹️

Rise and stack!
@unift scissors
I find it amusing that they push so hard against the players who try to make it right, probably to compensate for the big miss on FTX (look we really missed that one, but now we are on it!) have patience!
