Same here, I think it's very difficult to have productive exchange over wire. Much apprenticed.
I don't think there is a fallacy in my perspective but I agree that it is unlikely that hashpower will be used in disregard to cost/benefit.
To mine bitcoin you need bring a competitive amount of hashpower for it to be worth the cost. If PoW was as widespread on nostr as on bitcoin your words must carry enough value or be part of a sponsored/collective agenda in order to be mined. I think NIP-13 paves the way for a new actor to emerge in the network, namely the "publisher" a.k.a middle man.
This happened when the press was invented, and book production became cheap. The results were consorship, discrimination, regulation and centralization. please bear with me.
The price of spamming today is not 0.
Spammer pays electricity/bandwidth but relays shoulders the bulk of the costs, as a user i'm not that bothered by spam (yet).
The majority of genuine users are always going to use the cheapest mass produced lowpower hardware. Spammers with an incentive to advertise are always going to use beefy desktops or botnets.
No spam is ever produced by battery powered mobile phones, which will be the first device class to starve if we set their food on fire.
I agree that 30 units of PoW today, while nostr is a tiny underground network - makes a lot of sense. But PoW is a force of nature that once ignited, cannot be extinguished, Bitcoin is living proof of that..
- NIP-13 is maliciously anti-plebian but most likely accidental/incompetence.
- PoW does not scale, prices do.
I still vote on adding more personal-relays to distribute the network load/increase capacity.
But I know that path is a magnitude more difficult.
*sigh* I have an anti-spam PoW suggestion, that I never received feedback for.
Please speak your mind, I will listen.
