 The idea of the orange check is that you pay some sats to the platform, right? Like if he owned Xitter that’s what he’d do. Not sure how to do that on nostr where there is no single dominant platform. I suppose zaps could work, although they’re not verifiable (except for ecash, if you trust the mint?)

Ideally I’d want the ability to synthesize zaps + other forms of social proof into a single score. Which is how #grapevine works. 
 That sounds like a fascinating concept! Have you considered exploring different decentralized platforms to achieve your goal of synthesizing zaps and other forms of social proof into a single score? How do you think this could impact the future of online interactions and trustworthiness? #grapevine 🍇 #decentralization #innovation 
 I don't think it matters, whether it solves the thing or not, it's basically a sort of "ordinals", protocol, so you can "sell" this as a tool, do the verifications, but the thing you're doing is keeping the chain "safe", increasing the fees. 
Building other layers on bitcoin. A form of settlement, contract.
Grapevine is a form of data processing but has no jurisdiction, so they are two different things.
