So the other day, @npub1zfs0a... 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.

@npub1vl38m... even coded a tool to help them find the relevant accounts:

http://bounty-hunter.solajpafistoj.net/

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 @npub1zfs0a... to resolve these issues.

Is @npub1zfs0a... 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.
