What about using nostr to enhance existing email services/protocol? That could be already very valuable in terms of killing AI spam. It is something I would like to work on as soon as I understand the nostr protocol.
Discussion
You mean to use a social graph as credibility, or to use nostr as a common database for spam signatures, that anyone can query and update? Or something else you mean?
The former. If we can couple an email we receive to a nostr signed account a lot of trust based stuff is solved. A bit like pgp signatures.
Aha! That is an interesting thing. Also encryption and security is solved.
The hardest part is to make this compatible with the smtp protocol, or support this for generic email addresses.
Yes indeed! I'll dive into it when I have a bit more time. I'll keep you up to date if you want.
