The nostr github bot @NostrGithubBot may just be the first bot who's using PoW. @brugeman that's pretty cool. I'm curious, what's the rationale behind it?

@doot wen NIP-07 support for get-tao? Atm there's no way to re-use a pubkey across PoW posts.

PoW WoW goes 007! You can now use any NIP-07 browser extensions, like nos2x or Alby, to buy PoW for your notes.

@doot could getwired have a page with the highest-PoW likes in the last 24h? So instead of showing count(likes), it shows count(pow(like))? Or have a toggle to switch between them? Everyone compains likes are meaningless (see "onlyzaps" feature on Damus). But IMO PoW engagement (likes, reposts, replies) are even better than "zaps", because you cannot fake it like with wash-zaps.

PoW WoW v0.1 is out! It is a distributed marketplace for event PoW. Anyone can be a client, offering to buy PoW for their event. And anyone can be a provider, selling hashrate. A reputation system based on past trade behavior punishes dishonest clients or providers. For example, a client who creates requests but doesn't pay gets a bad reputation. Similarly, a provider who delivers a blinded solution which, after payment and unblinding, turns out to have less bits of PoW than asked by the client, also gets a negative reputation. There are 3 clients available: WASM, CLI, and a Gossip fork. A CLI provider is available for those who want to try out mining. Check it out at
