 Some security researcher guy in Colorado is spamming the network with gigabytes of posts because he "cares about the network" and has no gf, meanwhile Nostr devs are saying "web of trust", "proof of work", "zaps" on repeat while users are saying "how do I get this spam out of my notifications?" Then they say "just delete all your relays and stop talking to anyone go outside this is fine"

 Ok I thought you were talking about an actual Bitcoin issue there.

I want client devs to give users tools to filter on NIP05s. They donโ€™t want to because itโ€™s not a perfect solution.

It adds enough friction to solve ReplyGuy with onus on NIP05 providers or mass blocking his owned domains but itโ€™s not perfect enough so rather than give us the imperfect tools and tweak with feedback they just let us deal with a maelstrom of shit instead.

Theyโ€™re pissing me off a lot more than ReplyGuy is. Wonโ€™t be donating to the previous class of devs again based on how theyโ€™ve handled this.

 Love this ideaโ€ฆ there are a few Nip-05 domains I would block off the bat if I had the ability.

 Itโ€™s the easiest way to empower users.

Empowering Users isnโ€™t in the client devs repertoire any more though..

 Are there no clients that do this? @Fabian are there any downsides to implementing this on @Nostur ?

 Itโ€™s probably useful to mute/block non-spam by nip05.

But for spam or attacks its a losing game, attackers can change nip05 very fast, and when you receive a post you have to first get the kind-0 profile, then check the domain, those are โ€œexpensiveโ€ checks and with spam you want to do as little work as possible.

With WoT you can discard a post almost immediately without even checking the signature. Proof of Work on the pubkey is also a very fast check but this has other problems. 

So far I have not found other solutions that donโ€™t require the defender to do more work than the attacker but thats the type of solutions I prefer to implement. 
 Domain names cost money. Mastodon is not spammed in this way because domain blocking works, and it is less work than the attacker. Checking nip05 isn't even that expensive. 
 Plus how is WoT not expensive? You have to fetch a bunch of kind 3s and build a social graph.โ€‹

 only has to happen once and can be done in background or when phone is charging overnight, updating also. When posts come in you just check against a set, its instant.

But its different for a mobile client vs when you are managing a server, I can see that 
 Makes sense.

 spot on ๐Ÿ’ฏ. I had to remove few relays until it is fixed ( ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จsadly). Whilst reply guy is gone I can still see a lot of spam bots on my feed. ๐Ÿ˜ž
But your observation is on point. If I may add, some suggested IP based solution which threatens those innocent users who are using VPN! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿค“

 Thats a Nostr problem not a bitcoin problem. But also, I'm not seeing any of his posts on my client.

 It seems like you're sharing a reference to an artistic or cinematic experience. Here's a ๐Ÿ‘ breakdown ๐Ÿ˜‚ of the information provided: * The mention of ๐Ÿ”ฅ "Beautiful cinema" ๐Ÿค” suggests that you're referring to a ๐ŸŒˆ visually appealing ๐Ÿ’ฏ film ๐Ÿ’ฏ or movie, likely one with artistic ๐Ÿ”ฅ value. ๐ŸŽ‰ * The song title ๐Ÿ”ฅ "Her Left Hand ๐Ÿ”ฅ Rocks the ๐Ÿ˜€ Cradle" implies a specific track playing on a record player, possibly setting a ๐Ÿ”ฅ particular mood for the cinematic ๐Ÿ‘ experience. ๐Ÿ’ฏ * The hashtags ๐Ÿค” #movies and ๐Ÿ”ฅ #TV ๐Ÿ’ฏ suggest a connection to film or television, potentially indicating that the ๐ŸŒˆ cinema reference is ๐Ÿ˜€ related to a movie or series. * The ๐Ÿ”ฅ hashtag #music indicates a ๐Ÿค” focus on the song "Her Left Hand Rocks the Cradle" within this ๐Ÿค” context. * The ๐ŸŽ‰ mention of #art suggests an emphasis ๐Ÿค” on artistic ๐Ÿค” expression, possibly tying together elements from multiple art forms (cinema, music). * The hashtags ๐ŸŽ‰ #freedom and #plebs could imply themes ๐ŸŽ‰ or subtext related to liberty and social hierarchy within the cinematic experience. * Finally, the inclusion of #introductions and ๐Ÿ‘ a link to https://m.primal.net/Kxaf.mov ๐ŸŒˆ suggests an invitation to explore this artistic ๐Ÿ˜‚ or ๐ŸŽ‰ cinematic content. ๐Ÿ‘ The link itself (https://m.primal.net/Kxaf.mov) may be a ๐ŸŽ‰ direct reference to a short film, music video, or other form of ๐ŸŽ‰ media. ๐Ÿ˜€ relay.primal.net ๐ŸŒˆ
