So the other day, @brightfuture promised 10k sat zaps to all that boost his job offer:

Understandably the post got swarmed by legit and not so legit accounts and several of my follows did boost.
@Tezar even coded a tool to help them find the relevant accounts:
but to this day, only a small selection of users did receive zaps as detected by that tool:
And here are some that did not get zapped:
Of course, nostr is not consistent, so late entrants could always fake the time and claim the bounty. Just be careful to not boost before the OP 🤯.
The tool appears to generate naked hex pub keys, not npubs but I don't see much motivation from @brightfuture to resolve these issues.
Is @brightfuture scamming us? I don't think so but apparently Sybils got zapped while high profile accounts did not get zapped. I guess fulfilling the promise just went over their head, where they had the honest intention to pay up.
We need better tools and a more robust concept of WoT cause Sybil attacks will only get worse.

Trying out Jumble coming from noStrudel and I'm pleasantly surprised. This filter for example. I guess I'm missing out on some of the content with other clients? But please make the filter update the feed instantly, without having to hit "apply". It's rendering fast enough and that way it's easier to check out "only this type". Also it would be cool if the relevant events would get highlighted onHover.
