I've had to remove some notes from powrelay A shame to compromise on the ideal of pow as the only criterion But moderation sure is easy when notes are expensive to make

The number of tries needed to get N zero bits of POW is geometrically distributed with p = 1 / (2^N) The expected number of tries is 2^N (on average you'll need to try 256 different nonces to get 8 bits of POW, an event ID starting with `00`) The variance on the number of tries is 2^(2N) (1 - 1/2^N) which, conveniently, makes for a standard deviation of about 2^N for large N All that to say, setting POW to 25 in gossip was usually fine, but the occasional note took a painful amount of time.

The server running wss://powrelay.xyz kept running out memory and dying. I don't have time to fix properly so I fixed it with: 20 * * * * rcctl restart powrelay God, forgive me.
