Making industry specific NIPs is a mistake.

Same goes for the Medical data NIPs.

It will result in flooding the main NIP repo with competing standards or worse, the first NIP standard per industry dictates.

For sex workers, focus on WHAT is being transmitted through relays, not WHO.

- Photos

- Videos

- Presumably limited Access Tokens

- Payments

BLOB data like photos and videos or streams etc can be provided by URI as is already done today. The infrastructure to host that is out of scope for Nostr.

Access tokens can be relayed through Direct Encrypted Messages

Payments handled by zaps

Nostr cannot prevent people from being found and won't prevent people from being held accountable in their jurisdictions to whatever laws and regulations they are under.

I agree with this, but as another said, this could be generically useful from to marketplace type system, as well. Customer Reputation is just far more important to a sex worker or customer who faces criminal prosecution or assualt from the wrong customer.

Reputation points are only as good as the reputation of the entity attesting them and for period of time.

Some process to take into account the following could be useful, but still isn't a panacea.

- NIP05, and when pubkey was last changed

- Age of accounts (how long ago was first notice of pubkey in use)

- When changes to profile, url to avatar, banner, hash of referenced content

- Regularity of postings

- Badges awarded and accepted (and by whom)

- Violation reports via relays?

But we have to start somewhere vs letting perfection be the enemy of progress.
