I have a suspicion that the impersonator problem on nostr is gonna get very real soon.

What thinking is out there on it in terms of solutions? To be future proof i guess it has to consider bots trained on previous public posts.

Nostr.directory goes some way into this obviously tied to Twitter. I see some crowdsourcing possibilities.

Anyone else got any thoughts??

This is where badges will be useful, since they can only be tied to a specific npub.

OK. Just as one nip can be tied to a npub i gueaa.

But how do badges stop/limit impersonators? Not sure I get that bit

Won’t stop them per se but it will help them get filtered out as impersonators. #[4]​ what’s your take on this?

I would imagine will is prob swept up in the damn megathread we are all in. Notifications destroyed. Ruins the intimacy that was here before.

Verify behind your own domain and become your own brand. Same goes with projects and businesses you may own.

Def would help. I guess for those who have a known domain/brand that peoplecabn verify by recognition. Like saylor verifying by microstrategies page would be a pretty strong verification.
