do you like the proof of work animation anon? If you have other sick ideas, contribute

branch: https://github.com/permissionlesstech/bitchat-android/tree/nip13-pow
🚨 only for reckless testers, this is not a release!

help me find a reasonable proof of work limit by testing out this build of bitchat with proof of work for spam prevention (the same way bitcoin prevents spam btw).

- download and install
- go into a geohash chat
- write something, see semicolon guy
- turn on proof of work, notice the difficulty slider
- write a few messages
- increase difficulty, write a few messages

📝 report: device, max difficulty

at what difficulty does it take your phone more than a few seconds to send a message? which device are you using? which operating system?

comment below so I can gather some data. appreciate you 🫡
