What happens when you don’t know anyone? How about newcomers who see spam by default? This system doesn’t seem yo address that. Also introduces friction to key pair creation process. Doesn’t seem like the right approach to me.

We'll have to see what event structure is chosen
But it seems to me there's two parts to it:
1. Store the verification event on nostr. That will have a certain structure and kind I suppose. As such using that anyone can verify anyone
2. Progenitor heuristic. That seems specific to the reputation algorithm. So the project seems like it will measure that to provide a signal then I suppose an APi to get a badge or something
I dont know if it will take off, but glad people are trying things in this area
