artificial measures won't make any difference, and i'm sure as hell not wasting CPU time hashing stupid json notes for no effect

i'd rather just directly spend on resources that actually cost money anyway, that would be abused by spammers and scammers if they were free

in the end, you have to pay for PoW, same as with bitcoin, the whole point is that it's profitable, or nobody will do it

we have bitcoin, it uses PoW, that means nothing about any other application of it, and it solves the money problem so we can just cut to the chase and set a price floor for scammers right there in the app

if nobody cares, it's not needing protection, if it's interesting, then you need to charge for it

doesn't mean you can't give other ways to get new users on without first onboarding them to LN wallets, that can come later, referrals, attestations, all kinds of things could fix the onboarding problem

none of this has anything involved that needs PoW

please, just stahp with the PoW

you sound like shitcoiners 5 years ago before nicehash destroyed the PoW mining market and caused it to consolidate and eventually most of them are now gone, except for a very small few like chia, monero, litecoin, there just is no way to have more than a few of them in the world and only one will be really valuable

and if it already exists, you are just setting yourself up to watch it fall down just like all the shitcoins did

i can't believe you have this fascination about PoW and yet you have clearly done zero research on its history and the very few use cases it has actually long term worked for ca.purplerelay.com
