Why not a new NIP that requires some POW to generate a valid npub/nsec pair? Anything that doesn’t put in enough work auto seen by clients as spam. Just need a loading bar on account creation as phone does some computing, like trying to get a custom looking npub but actually useful.
Jameson Lopp (npub17u5…t4tp) does this for contacting him via website form. Has to upgrade difficulty occasionally but works I think
