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

Looking for testers or feedback on PoW WoW. It's a protocol to buy PoW for any notes, or to sell hashrate. The idea is: clients can start "shopping" for PoW for any event they create. They say how much PoW they want, how fast, and how much they're willing to pay. Providers mine the PoW and send it over together with an invoice. The PoW is packaged in such a way that it's only usable after the invoice is paid (e.g. the preimage is known). Long story short, after the client pays, they can "open" (unblind) the PoW, add it to their event, and broadcast it right away. To see it in action: For details see

Any feedback or questions, let me know! Thanks. #pow #askstr

Hey @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻, is it possible to customize supported NIPs with relaying.io? For example setting setting `created_at` limits with NIP-22.

The Gossip client is shaping up! Just started using it again after a couple of months and: - now it has proper support for DMs - UI is much faster, almost instant - UI is much slicker It may just be the best desktop Nostr client yet 🤔
