It’s a good point. The minimal spec was to use less data and since it relies on the AUTH NIP, we already know the pubkey.

I’d imagine someone could want someone else to request generation of POW for one of their events and then get them to sign it. But why have a middle man?

The assumption is the requestor holds the secret key for the pubkey of the events they are asking for POW generation for.

Secondly, since it’s expected this would never be a free service, the pubkey would be the member or account holder or account to be charged/deducted from.

Open to suggestions if pubkey is needed.
