Hey #nostr client devs. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955

Impersonators are popping up on nostr. And it is even easier for them than on twitter. They can easily create 1:1 profile copy with the same icon, banner, posts, reposts.. Number of followers and followed can be easily gamed. Even npub can be vanity generated to have the same beginning and end.

What would help and what can't be easily gamed is to see "followed by these people you follow" in user profiles.

Similarly how twitter does:

What I usually do is ask 'impersonator' to zap me certain amount to prove they are who they claim to be.

I never hear back from them again, but I guess they keep fishing in shallow waters...
