I've had to remove some notes from powrelay
A shame to compromise on the ideal of pow as the only criterion
But moderation sure is easy when notes are expensive to make

I think pow is better for discovery than spam prevention. People might be ok with paying for pow for an occasional announcement you want people to pay attention to, but mobile users will not want to drain their batteries to post likes.

Where is this from?

Switched from postgres to sqlite for wss://powrelay.xyz
Much snappier now. Tried moving all the events but there might be a couple I missed, just rebroadcast if one of yours is missing 😅

It's a cool little website, I showed it to a musician friend who liked it.

Great read!
I guess you'd want relays to have websocket connection slots that clients could bid for with POW, then storing events could work like powrelay or maybe there'd be some kind of time expiration component. I just wanted to collect most precious events in one place but resource allocation with pow would be awesome too.

Adjusted to keep the database size constant. So it will get harder over time.

Believe it or not, so few people do POW still that two leading 'q's in the bech32 event id is plenty to meet the current cut-off.
