Subnostr

There’s no way to utilize nip5 for any sort of verification. For it to be useful, you have to know people’s nostr address. Scammers can register a free one and still look legit to someone who has no idea what that person’s actual nostr address is.

I think Nostur has the best solution in place with impersonator tag

Yup, it needs to be remembered and known. That is why I think it is a good idea to be able to verify an account user metadata, name, nip05, website and etc. Verified values can be recorded via an attestation event/note that could be private or public. I've drafted up a wireframe of this and NIP on how it could work.

Here is the mentioned animated wireframe of how what I described could work:

Interesting. Probably the attestation can happen as optional step after following the user, and be included in the follow list (kind 2). This would make the adoption easier.

Sure!

Perhaps as well, private attestations could be made with a follow for just the name and profile image, as a starting point.
