The world has gone mad. Praying for peace.

If I were to objectively define where spam originates from, it seems to be any npub that is not part of a web of trust.

Does that sound about right?

Are we technically on the dark web? 👀

My new antispam thesis is this:

1. Reject events unless we already have a kind 0 (profile event) for the pubkey.

2. Restrict making a kind 0.

By requiring profile events, you force the attacker to create a profile. By restricting the creation of profiles, you slow them down.

Real users should still be able to get in because they won't hit the same limits.

We just recreated web 2.0 security on Nostr. "You need a profile to post?" -Nostr Zoomer

I feel like they already successfully memory holed the fact that Biden is still the President of the US.

The primary role of governement is to preserve the rights of its citizens.

The primary activity of government is to infringe on the rights of its citizens.

🤦‍♂️

Thanks! Any hints on how to do that?

you need to set the real ip header in strfry settings

VPN users should probably not be using public relays, vpns will likely banned eventually due to spammers

yeah its a targeted attack that gets around my rate limiter. i’m already thinking of new kinds of tools on my relay to visualize number of notes coming from certain ip addresses, and a management tool that can ban them with a click.

Attacking me is either really dumb or smart depending on how well they want spam protections to improve.

going to spend some time juicing up noteguard to ip block people who excessively abuse the rate limiter, by tracking attempted writes per second more accurately

#WasabiWallet coordination service will be free.

This is a fantastic improvement because the protocol is now safer and cheaper for everyone. No more "trust me, I am a reputable coordinator", no more "plebs don’t pay" (whatever that means), no more "remix don’t pay", no more "friends don’t pay/one hops don't pay"—none of that nonsense! Now it’s simple: you don’t pay, period!

This closes all doors for malicious coordinators to try to trick the client into paying more than what they would want.

yeah

The one thing on X I might miss are the alerts like this and the on the ground media from users that usually goes with it. nostr:note1zw4f2zqvv6u6xlk2kz8q4njetgc7kr593yjc6qf053luplqtwlpshvrkgt
