Basically just reports, honestly. Reporting comments on your own posts could auto-hide them on clients and put them in a little "Removed" section. As far as I can tell, the only point of doing it relay-side is to decrease the amount of work the client has to do, and maybe at scale that matters, but we're not close to that yet.

It doesn't have to be perfect. Plus having AI scan every single post is just too slow. I think a best-effort approach would catch most of it. The rest you can just block. If you want it temporary, you could tag them as 'crypto' or whatever and the client could block them when you turn on the filter.

That's fun. I actually thought of an interesting architecture you might be interested in, where you embed an nsite in an iframe. The iFrame gets your public key in the URL, which makes you the quote unquote admin of it, which allows you to set its parameters in some kind of manifest event. I'm currently working on a guestbook with this idea.
It might be interesting to have a drop in forum architecture.

Once simple way is proof of work. There's a NIP for that. You can have the client mine the event for like, 1 second, 5 seconds, whatever. If it runs in the background people won't even notice, but it'll slow down spam.
However this doesn't solve the problem of people throwing up random non-existent reports. But what if you just used consensus instead? This only applies once there's a serious network effect, but you could only show items that X number of people have reported/agreed exist. That's probably what waze does anyway.

I found this paper about decentralizing the #lightning network. I've never seen anyone talking about this. They present a way forward on decentralizing liquidity. The abstract is an easy read. #bitcoin
```
The fundamental objective of the Lightning Network is to establish a decentralized platform for scaling the Bitcoin network and facilitating high-throughput micropayments. However, this network has gradually deviated from its decentralized topology since its operational inception, and its resources have quickly shifted towards centralization. The evolution of the network and the changes in its topology have been critically reviewed and criticized due to its increasing centralization. This study delves into the network’s topology and the reasons behind its centralized evolution. We explain the incentives of various participating nodes in the network and propose a score-based strategy for the Lightning Autopilot system, which is responsible for automatically establishing new payment channels for the nodes joining the network. Our study demonstrates that utilizing the proposed strategy could significantly aid in reducing the network’s centralization. This strategy is grounded in qualitative labeling of network nodes based on topological and protocol features, followed by the creation of a scoring and recommendation model. Results of the experiments indicate that in the evolved network using the proposed strategy, concentration indicators such as the Gini coefficient can decrease by up to 17%, and channels ownership of the top 1% of hubs decrease by 27% compared to other autopilot strategies. Moreover, through simulated targeted attacks on hubs and channels, it is shown that by adopting the proposed strategy, the network’s resilience is increased compared to the existing autopilot strategies for evolved networks. The proposed method from this research can also be integrated into operational Lightning clients and potentially replace the current recommendation methods used in Lightning Autopilot.

What's the goal here? to replace Bitcoin? Do you expect Bitcoin to die when it's worth this much? Or is the long-term idea for both to coexist? That might be inevitable anyway, after all.
Bitcoin has consistently reached higher and higher market cap, though the volatility is still very real, and the higher that goes, the less volatility there will be. In theory, anyway.
I barely ever hear about Bitcoin Cash. Do you expect it to overtake Bitcoin? Maybe not even in price but in usage?

No I get it. Lightning rn isn't a perfect solution, but that's mainly because of centralization issues and onboarding.

However there are ways to decentralize lightning before, I found a research paper about that.
