 I love this! But Nostr will need more than just a larger user base to provide reliable Web of Trust verification. We’re gonna need better WoT tools. 

Specifically, Nostr users have no means to explicitly “mark” another npub as “trusted”. Web of Trust currently depends on arbitrary algos (different for every client) to “imply” or “derive” that one user trusts another. 

Follow does not equal Trust. 
Nostr needs a WoT standard.
