yeah kinda like a WoT social attestation, i like this idea:
"We can probably come up with some specs to ease the “manual” recovery process, like social attestation and explicit signaling – i.e., Alice, Bob and Carol are friends; Alice loses her key; Bob sends a new Nostr event kind to the network saying what is Alice’s new key; depending on how much Carol trusts Bob, she can automatically start following that and remove the old key – or something like that"
Now I'm thinking that Carol doesn't even have to trust Bob. As long as Carol has a kind 3 event from Alice that is old enough and Bob is in there, Carol can assume Bob is ok for signaling Alice's new key.
If Carol can get attestations from multiple people in Alice's old contact list that would be ideal.
