Last Notes

I've had to remove some notes from powrelay
A shame to compromise on the ideal of pow as the only criterion
But moderation sure is easy when notes are expensive to make

Sounds very reasonable,
but some of us have a pathologically single minded focus on verifiability and honest signaling.

https://www.get-tao.app/ has sort by POW!

You can do it on the command line with noscl and nostril, but I don't know of any others.
Used to host POW as a service on https://powrelay.xyz/work.html but no one was buying so it's broken right now. Working on a powbot you can tag to buy pow for your events, hopefully that will be more popular. 😅

They don't even have POW smh

I think pow is better for discovery than spam prevention. People might be ok with paying for pow for an occasional announcement you want people to pay attention to, but mobile users will not want to drain their batteries to post likes.

Where is this from?

2023-05-31 02:50:25

Switched from postgres to sqlite for wss://powrelay.xyz
Much snappier now. Tried moving all the events but there might be a couple I missed, just rebroadcast if one of yours is missing 😅

It's a cool little website, I showed it to a musician friend who liked it.

Great read!
I guess you'd want relays to have websocket connection slots that clients could bid for with POW, then storing events could work like powrelay or maybe there'd be some kind of time expiration component. I just wanted to collect most precious events in one place but resource allocation with pow would be awesome too.

wss://powrelay.xyz will send you the events with most POW that match your query.
I like POW because it is a trustless solution to content discovery. If you care about the content of a note, you should be willing to spend money mining POW for it. If not, then it's probably ok for people not to pay attention to it.
