There are ways to buy PoW from a marketplace of providers, all over nostr.

Looking for testers or feedback on PoW WoW.

It's a protocol to buy PoW for any notes, or to sell hashrate.

The idea is: clients can start "shopping" for PoW for any event they create. They say how much PoW they want, how fast, and how much they're willing to pay. Providers mine the PoW and send it over together with an invoice. The PoW is packaged in such a way that it's only usable after the invoice is paid (e.g. the preimage is known). Long story short, after the client pays, they can "open" (unblind) the PoW, add it to their event, and broadcast it right away.

To see it in action:

Any feedback or questions, let me know! Thanks.
