Remember, even Twitter hasn't yet solved the spam problem.
This was my conclusion after thinking about this problem for a while:

quoting nevent1q…cqw3But then, on top of running a free open relay, you are running a free moderation engine. Who will pay this?
I see this as an identity problem in general rather than a Nostr relay problem. If you can ban an npub, that person can create another one. We need to ban the person or an AI that's posting.
Worldcoin offers a solution to scan all the unique humans on Earth to solve this problem along with the human vs AI problem. But there are 8 billion people on earth. And Worldcoin accounts are as cheap as $20. It doesn't solve the identity problem in my opinion. Plus, not everyone will scan their eyeballs.
I think we should identify people based on the most scarce possession on Earth. Bitcoin.
I want to propose "Proof of Bitcoin". If you ban a Bitcoin balance, its much much harder for a scammer or an illegal content poster to save enough bitcoin to post again.
What do you guys think?
