My friend is working on Web of Trust:

Just Coracle and to a lesser extent Iris as far as I know. It's a number roughly equal to how many people you follow also follow a particular person. There are other ways to put it together, but that's the very simple version. It's very useful for spotting impostors at the very least.
My vision of web of trust is called the Grapevine, and it will enable you and your community to identify who is the most trustworthy, and in what context, so they can help you curate content, facts, and information.
My proof of concept is a desktop app that maintains lists that are curated by your Grapevine. Example: a list of nostr devs, which would weed out the fake Pablo if he ever got on the list in the first place.
Itβs currently being refactored as a web app by nostr:npub1p2uwv7qme2u92y2qcpqqvafhkkqsxfrrnz8m79lm60v4005s7vuqnexr0s and itβs gonna be awesome.
Interesting! Iβll be on the lookout π
