what i think would be neat, if possible, would be to preserve some sort of WOT while remaining anon. to give the post some weight if it came from within your graph

Put in your bucket of true new ideas in Nostr.
We have PoW for this.
along the lines of what we've been thinking with nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 nostr:npub176p7sup477k5738qhxx0hk2n0cty2k5je5uvalzvkvwmw4tltmeqw7vgup
Does any method exist for me to sign a message that proves that the message came from one npub on a list of npubs without specifying which npub? So for example, you see a message and you know it’s from someone you follow but you don’t know who exactly. Maybe something using ZKPs? Seems like it should be possible, although I’ve never heard of anyone actually doing it.
If the npubs collaborate, it should be possible, see this for reference.

I’d love to see an implementation where the npubs don’t have to collaborate.
Imagine a source like Deep Throat, but where we don’t have to trust Bob Woodward that the source comes from someone on list X. Instead, we have list X, we have a signature, and that’s all we need.
Would probably require some sort of zero-knowledge WOT as you need to prove the WOT is transitive without revealing who you are.
