TAO (The Anon Operation): unstoppable free speech

Outlining a stupid simple standard to facilitate unstoppable free speech on the internet.

Overview

Nostr at the core: censorship resistant, also stupid simple and permissionless
Anon only: Names and Nyms carry reputations/private-risks - Anons speak freely
PoW: Spam and noise

Nitty Gritty

Ways to make Nostr notes impossible to stop?

• Secure Scuttlebutt gossip and offline (?): Even in locked down countries, if we have a SSB-like medium, we only need one person to connect to a relay to share other ppl's messages
  
• Extremely lightweight relays and gossiping
  
• PWAs and bridges: A proliferation of simple PWAs that act like a hydra, and the sharing of notes through any means (telegram, email, pigeon) before getting to nostr

Making a useful public square?

• PoW addresses spam
• 4chan-like thread/reply structure onto a global feed (?)
