 I think @Cameri was the first person to suggest this but i could be misremembering. I still think spammers would do the PoW as a way to exploit this wot expansion 
 For sure they will do it

But maybe it will slow them down just enough that muting and banning could make a difference? 

And relay operators could more easily share ban lists?

Although maybe not, if a user mines an npub on a phone for 10 mins, a 4090 can probably do that same work in a few seconds :/

 yes this was my exact line of thinking which made me abandon pow for most things

 PoW makes most sense per-message to stop mass spamming, it makes less sense on pubkeys. But even per message is not a silver bullet because you can spin up many machines these days, i dunno 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 PoW can only prevent financially-motivated spam, where the click-through rate isn't amazing. 

It merely slows and limits trolls and ideologically-motivated spam. 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Slowing down spam is a reasonable goal. Completely eliminating it is likely not realistic.

 I still think ip rate limiting and banning is way less intrusive and works well. I think i can eliminate 99% of it with enough elbow grease, but will likely require active monitoring for new attacks. I can see why twitter had a bot team -_- 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 IP rate limiting curves spam on a single relay but spammers are sending events to many relays so clients still get spam, and unfortunately relays donโ€™t gossip about this stuff for better or worse. 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 We donโ€™t need to gossip it necessarily, we just need to be working in the same spam ip blocking code. going to write something up for noteguard and hope other public relays run it and improve it

 what do you think about Pow endorsements?

https://pippellia.com/pippellia/Social+Graph/Navigating+the+social+graph#PoW+endorsement

tldr;

- Alice pays 10$ to a miner
- Miner mines a note that reference Alice's npub
- Alice gets her checkmark so she can defend her audience from impersonators

 I would have to trust the miner and I shouldnโ€™t need to.

 worst case is u lose 10$.

It's like a restaurant.
