 the replyguy kinda ends the discussion as far as i'm concerned

causing trouble is cheap on nostr right now, that is a threat that needs to be considered seriously since there is not so much risk of a profitable scam attack at this point

we have to raise the price above thet most determined seeker of lulz

 Thats why I think there should be a minimum of PoW on every single note, some energy required to post whatever, doesn’t matter if you are a legitimate user or spammer.

 i wish i didn't hear this so often from people

if it's worth money, it won't be within reach of regular users

if it's not worth money, nobody is going to spam

 Is reply guy is making money? The cost is so cheap today that even the amount of money lost is peanuts to the average spammer.

I’m advocating for raising the cost floor, not keep it free/cheap as it is today. Not advocating for eliminating spam forever.

I think all here can spend a couple days or weeks (slowly) mining a profile event with some PoW. Whether spammers can do it faster does not matter, they will have to pay the cost for every pubkey which raises their cost floor. They will need to spend in expensive equipment and spend energy to do it every single time they need a new pubkey.

What we have today is zero or near-zero cost.

Also if you don’t want to hear other people’s opinions try getting off the internet ffs and cut the 💩
