We should stop pairing NIP-5 with the word "verification". For newcomers it risks being a shitcoin game.

Use NIP-5 for its real functions and embrace WoT for actual contacts check.

I agree, NIP-5 has nothing to do with verification.

I think a (decentralized) verification system on Nostr is possible, but it would have nothing whatsoever to do with NIP-5.

Indeed, NIP-05 isn't meant at all as a verification system.
