What to explain
NIP-13 proof of work: leading zero bits of the event id as difficulty; the nonce tag with target difficulty; mining as re-hashing (BitField zero-run visualization with a genuinely mined nonce); commitment to the target so difficulty cannot be faked; delegated PoW; and the economics — making spam cost CPU instead of making speech cost permission.
This book is part of the series "Nostr Implementation Possibilities" (book 6 of 10) — pass --series "Nostr Implementation Possibilities" --series-order 6 to video.mjs. Depends on the nostr viz toolkit (PR #120) being merged.
