🚨 PROOF OF CONCEPT: GPU-NIP13-MINER

I've just released a proof of concept that demonstrates how GPU usage can make NIP-13 (proof-of-work) completely unviable.

Bots using GPU are over ONE ORDER OF MAGNITUDE faster than CPUs:

📊 BENCHMARKS:
┌─────────────────────────┬──────────────┬─────────────┐
│ Hardware │ Kernel │ Performance │
├─────────────────────────┼──────────────┼─────────────┤
│ CPU (i5-9500T) │ default │ 1.18M/s │
│ Intel GPU (UHD 630) │ default │ 2.67M/s │
│ NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti │ ckolivas │ 60.15M/s │
│ NVIDIA Quadro P2200 │ ckolivas │ 45.01M/s │
└─────────────────────────┴──────────────┴─────────────┘

A mid-range NVIDIA GPU is ~50x faster than a modern CPU.

This means any bot using GPU will have a massive advantage over normal users on CPU, making NIP-13 ineffective as an anti-spam mechanism.
