Yup, totally busted.
I had a little bit too much fun developing that demo...
It's been a few months since it was published so in hindsight I would remove the age/gender and propose to fight spam by:
- PoW encode geohash into public key (like vanity address)
- spam notes are generated by spam accounts. So Incurr one time cost on account generation.
- given relays that only accept authors from a bounded geo-area, spammers would have to pay more to nuke a specific location or city.
I thought this was a lot more client friendly than NIP-13, and also help decentralize all actors in the network.
I thought it was a good idea, and kinda still do.
But the people I showed it to just went silent, 0-feedback 😥😕
Honest opinion please? 😐
