if spammers want to PoW their spam, good for them!
because that's kind of the point:
now they needs to invest in real-world real sources to sustain their load, so they have to carefully calculate how far they're willing to go with their spam.
and relays can always set a PoW limit that is high enough.
but I don't think BitAxes will be useful here!
fun fact I learned from skot9000:
Bitcoin mining ASICs can only calculate sha256d hashes for 80 byte preimages.
maybe a skillful hacker could make something work with severe limitations on note size, but I'm actually quite curious to see a potential economy of nostr note mining around GPUs 🎮⚙️
