🚨 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 πŸ“ 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 🫑 View quoted note β†’

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

Maybe a visual indicator that pow is on could be useful if you later forget about it and are guessing why you don't see any conversation going on? πŸ«‚

@calle is testing a #bitchat new feature of a minimum Proof of Work filter for the notes. The expectation is to make it more difficult (workwise needs) to spam the geohash channels.
So how does this work? Does it show only messages that have done the minimum proof of work and make all of your messages do the minimum proof of work as well?

That's why it is in testing mode right now.

Afaict, yes. That's exactly how it works.
It's not an easy problem. But PoW is only equitable when most people are running ASICs
