 lol! that's what CHARLIE LEE said 13 years ago lol, see how that turned out?

one of the last standing PoW coins but only because it's got such a big miner useerbase

i still haven't heard a reasonable, cogent argument from any PoW antispammers on nostr explaining to me what happens when the amount of hashpower increases, they haven't even thought about the fact you need a consensus on the network hash rate in order to actually prevent spam!

i hope you all enjoy your arse backwards method of antispam as much as this rake-boarder:

 Micropayments then? 
 in the end that's the only way that normal users will have access to the needed hashpower, so why bother with the PoW and just use paid relays as the gate
