The “scraping” problem is not hard. Just charge for the data with #bitcoin /lightning at 2x the cost of service provision. Then the more they scrape the more profit you make. QED.

True, but to me this rate limiting looks much more like creating a problem that didn’t exist before, and at the same time pushing for twitter blue.
Ironically, they're pushing less people to Twitter Blue and more people to nostr.
Do you think nostr relays will start charging sats?
I wonder, why Elon didn’t think of this as the right approach!

welcome back!
For example, using Lightning API Keys (L402)?
"L402 are a cornerstone to building metered APIs for the machine-to-machine economy, without logins, e-mail addresses or passwords."
L402 | Builder's Guide
Lightning API keys (L402) are Macaroons that include a payment hash. For the L402 to be valid, it must be presented together with the preimage corr...
Adam that would be too simple. Has to be hard to be able to create a narrative around the easily solvable problem.
#LightningNetwork fixes this
I genuinely don’t get why this is a hard solution to understand — introducing a cost to spamming reduces the spam.
Before you can charge for the data you have to lock them out.
Welcome back 🫡
yes but that is not the point of elon's recent moves - the plan is to mass verify users so they are better data slaves
Twitter isn’t that big a deal to most of the people on the planet. Years ago it was useful-now it’s infuriating to use.
turned the first amendment into a data gathering grift.
HTTP 402 (Payment required) using Lightning + ecash
X-Cashu
X-Cashu is a work-in-progress project that aims to create a 402 Payment Required scheme to monetize REST API access by using ecash in HTTP headers.
Proxnut
This proxy forwards requests only if they have a valid cashu token attached to the X-Cashu header.

why would you scrape when you can run a relay or buy a copy of their db?
Wow, "days slaves". That's a great coining of a term, @ODELL. 🫂

most scrapers are computer science kids learning a projects so lerning is impeded if scraping is punished
wen Blockstream gonna match jacks bitkey device 2o3 multisig with recovery after 2 of 3 keys lost or stolen via a Contact sms message?
pretty exciting the Green devs can outmatch that.
Got banned without justification from X, so elon can go and suck it
Not giving away my data
Why not post more here…?

Whens the the ticker gonna change Adam? lol
Nostr solves this naturally: data is open, but value is layered. Let them scrape — you just stack sats. 🧡📡
