As a newcomer I found it confusing. Though maybe the concept of verification could be emulated with a competing set of verifiers that the client chooses to adhere to 🤔

I still like the idea of badges for those who have earned them through tasks at live events

Or badges for people who zap others a lot and participate in the economy

I think we should look to the boyscouts to see what they do- I’ve never been a part of that cult (😂 /s), but they probably have some good ideas

Nice idea, but the problem here is the "value" of the badges. It is necessary bounded to whom create them, they are just a passthrough, so we are falling back to the Web of Trust.

If you make them assigned to tasks it’s a protocol

Like being an only-zaps person makes you cooler idc

There should be a special only-zaps relay

Someone has to sign the badge; the protocol cannot do it alone. So this “someone” gives trust/value to the badge.

A certain amount of witnesses could sign? I’m sure enough thought could be given to it for a work around

How does it work in the Scouts?

I think decentralized verification, based on any criteria verifiers decide, should indeed be based on a badge-like mechanism, but it probably should rely on a separate NIP and different event kinds.
