Hopefully they don’t want to be another Ukraine.
I would love to see a weighted social graph of commerce grow here. Free merchants from being farmed for rent by fiat marketplaces.
In the OTC days we used a range of -10 to 10, where -10 was scammer/thief who will likely abscond with your money, and 10 was highest honors.
Yeah, this is orthogonal to whether you are following. You might want to follow someone you *don’t* trust to critique their writings, for example.
And you might trust one person enough to recommend to others, and another person with your life. If commerce happens on nostr, you’ll care to know the difference.
Rating isn’t a binary, and negrating is needed.
Spam is a subset of the trust problem, and a web-of-trust solves it. Also solves discoverability.
The correct approach is to introduce a mechanism where one nostr identity can sign a piece of data identifying and rating another (forming a web of trust). It worked for the old days of bitcoin p2p sales, and will work fine here.
Damn! They’re a long way from the 90s, aren’t they?
