I use a paynym as an online identity. It was the easiest way to do this before nostr.

I liked the idea that anyone could pay me using +softmountain942 and I could verify my identity by telling the sender the amount, but only those two people know this information.

Besides, it's kinda cool Satoshi remains a nym. I try to do the same as an homage, but I know your opinion is more popular.

Sure, but it takes more time to build trust

These npub are disposable, zero reputation is attached

The only thing I can go on is a history of quality notes and replys

I don't have time to investigate all of these anons

Also you are using BloggingBitcoin and not just a NPUB

Oh...now I get it. There's a lot of neophytes now so I cut them some slack.
