Replying to Avatar Nice and Kind Vic

Personal Notes would also be nice, but labeling is more what I'm after. I envision rendering to be something like this to note an account I've labeled. In this example, imagine that you've labeled me as "Kevin (Detroit)". Every post I make would show that private label to you. If someone else comes along claiming to be me, their account wouldn't be labeled as you've set it. Likewise, if I changed my name to something else, the "Kevin (Detroit)" label you set would still stick and make it apparent to you. This also solves a problem where people change their names over time and their followers are not all aware. Recently I heard that stellainforest changed their name. I need to track down the new one.

Got it. I think the term in nostr is β€œpet names”.

A risk of pet names is that if you accidentally post your nsec publicly, and you label for instance nostr:npub1jk9h2jsa8hjmtm9qlcca942473gnyhuynz5rmgve0dlu6hpeazxqc3lqz7 with his name and address 123 main st iowa city.

Maybe pet names could remain local.
