Sats are difficulty-adjusted PoW, which is way better than straight up PoW.
What's the current market price in sats for posting 1 note.
Similarly, clients can allow the user to disallow zaps below any threshold thought to be gameable trivially.
The best trust protection is manual "vetting".
Let Sally endorse Bob as an authentic human. But only once Sally has first been endorsed trustworthy herself. Creating an opt-in circle of trust.
If a bot slips through the cracks, Sally can remove her endorsement of Bob. Which removes ALL endorsements that Bob made too, all the way down the line. Blasting bot-nets out of the sky.
Only endorse people you trust, and people you trust to make trustworthy endorsements as well.
