๐Ÿšจ only for reckless testers, this is not a release! help me find a reasonable proof of work limit by testing out this build of bitchat with proof of work for spam prevention (the same way bitcoin prevents spam btw). - download and install - go into a geohash chat - write something, see semicolon guy - turn on proof of work, notice the difficulty slider - write a few messages - increase difficulty, write a few messages ๐Ÿ“ report: device, max difficulty at what difficulty does it take your phone more than a few seconds to send a message? which device are you using? which operating system? comment below so I can gather some data. appreciate you ๐Ÿซก View quoted note โ†’

Android v15 arrows we2 Semicolons became invisible in pow1. On my device, posting with pow20 or higher takes several dozen seconds.

16 is treshold I would say too. 13 works very well
12 feels easy and cozy, not much differet than the ui state changes you'd expect from a 'sending' action. 15 takes a couple seconds but i don't mind if i've chosen it and i know why. pixel 7, grapheneOS
I personally think that that pow slider would be perfect as permanently on the top of the screen
I just tested v.1.2.2 with Google Pixel 8a, GrapheneOS and found that with difficulty: 15 bits, the letter "p" (as a message) takes between 2 and 19 seconds. ๐Ÿคท image

Pixel 9a, GrapheneOS, Bitchat running in a private space. Any difficulty adjustment seems never-ending, even 1 bit.
