You don’t “need” to be verified, it’s just nice to be able to prove you’re a real account vs one controlled by an impersonator, bot, etc.

Ok. Got that. Why doesn't do PGP the job?

This is a Nostr specific verification and will show in clients

As with nearly all things PGP, nobody bothers to use it. Plus, PGP verification isn’t part of any nostr account verification mechanism I’m aware of? See the NIP05 link I posted, good jumping off point to learn more about the protocol.

To be clear, my comment refers to NIP5 and not PGP. I’ve never used PGP and just barely know what it is 😅

I’m pretty sure it has no Nostr relevance

But "nobody bothers to use it" is NOT true imo.
