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.

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." https://docs.lightning.engineering/the-lightning-network/l402/l402

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

why would you scrape when you can run a relay or buy a copy of their db?

FAKE ADAM #[2] FAKE ADAM #[3] FAKE ADAM #[4] FAKE ADAM #[5] FAKE ADAM #[6]

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.

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. 🧡📡

"From the Hashcash days to the Nostr revolution. It’s an honor to follow your signal directly from Brazil! 🇧🇷⚡ Keep building the future of sovereignty. #bitcoin #nostr"

Charging sats for API access turns scrapers into customers. The spam problem and the scraping problem are the same problem: free access. Bitcoin fixes it by making access cost something.
