Hey everyone!

I hope you’re all doing well. 😊 I wanted to kick off a friendly discussion on a topic that’s been on my mind lately: how to tackle spam effectively.

I’ve been mulling over some ideas, particularly involving the Nano cryptocurrency protocol. Imagine if, for every account created, a small amount of Nano had to be locked up for a short period, like a day or a week? This could discourage spammers from flooding the system with fake accounts, as it would cost them more to do so. And don’t worry, this wouldn’t affect legitimate users at all!

On top of that, what if we introduced a reputation-based system? Users would earn reputation points based on their activity and behavior on the network. Transactions from accounts with high reputation scores would get priority over those from accounts with lower scores. Plus, reputation could be gained through regular usage of the Nano network. The more you use it, the lower your reputation and vice versa.

Of course, these are just some brainstorming ideas, so take them with a grain of salt! I’d love to hear your thoughts and any other ideas you might have. Let’s work together to make our crypto community even better!
