He seems to be everywhere.
Kind of sad, that someone puts time and energy into a useless idea... There lots of good initiatives in nostr that he could support..
I think someone is trying to make a point. Nostr is not ready for prime time if we can’t even deal with 1 bot. He made his point.
Registering new accounts ans immediately using them is trivial, which greatly facilitates spamming with throwaway accounts. 😤
Perhaps something can be done with an approach of checking immediate replies to a post. The swiftness of ReplyGuy can be their undoing (at least temporarily).
I think it’s being done already with rate limiting but it’s still getting through
What about relays checking if a certain epub has already submitted a note before and when not only accept it after a certain delay? That'll slow spammers down.
Could be a state actor at this point. If we get 1000 bots like this...it's over if there is no defense.
Perhaps relays should not immediately accepts notes from unknown accounts. Some delay first.
Yes, we need PoW or paid nip05
