 Don't trust anyone who is new with a lightning addy or a nip05 or nostr.wine  imo

 that + any sort of nostr lingo + being intentionally oblivious of nostr for attention 
 I feel like we’re giving them a playbook on how to do it now πŸ’€πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

 those wanting to do it will keep on doing it, which is good

it trains the actual folk to tune them out more 
 🀣🀣Well if they really wanna spend that much time to curate dozens of fake accounts to get 63 sats fuck it

 I like to see them interact for a while too across multiple notes. A bit of Proof of Work. A website, a genuine interest in something, engagement etc. It’s tricky though.

 While that may be a decent litmus, its nowhere near foolproof and may filter out the very people who might otherwise have the most passion and staying power on nostr. 

For example several members of my meetup group jumped on nostr today. They showed up with profile pics and lnaddresses cause I had been talking their ears off abt nostr for the past year. They simply came prepared and are very passionate. Immediately assuming they're illigitimate cause they came prepared to jump into the community seems backwards to me.
