@dcbuilder worldcoin could do a really nice feature generating a list of provably human farcaster accounts. warpcast might ingest to bolster anti-spam measures (@v has mentioned wanting roughly this) and worldcoin could attempt to get warpcast to add proof of humanity badges to profiles (where power badges used to be)

proof of humanity is good for a variety of reasons, but won't solve our spam problem. 

you will find that many "bots" are actually real, individual humans who can get a proof of humanity

Why do you think it won’t solve spam in the long run as there are more users the in the PoP protocol

The point is they can’t do two, there are a lot of measures in place to prevent that and assurances are only getting stronger.

For 1. I can understand not fully restricting because you are limiting your user base and it’s not a thing that is widely distributed yet. But it’s something we should aspire to, otherwise the internet and the chain will become unusable for real humans really soon

1. Restricting something to PoP doesn't work, most spammers are real people. 

2. Banning spammers slows them down, but they have high willingness to pay. There are people paying $100+ a year to run hubs in the hope of an airdrop today. I'm sure they can just purchase another PoP at that price.
