Oddbean new post about login | logout Trust is (one of) Nostr’s biggest hurdles. Web Of Trust cannot be established without some means of each npub to “vouch” for the “trustworthiness” of another. Nostr does not have this yet.
You right... But... nostr:nevent1qqswedym4nft6036yjh9dy80ntykstpcxsm6kcc6f4h4g8en0mum20qpzdmhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3eqgs0fk6jwz7ejxchh6s7d5p473w7uwffr8pfga9m4sgrgtfz836wp5qrqsqqqqqp8zcdvx
Trust gained by the content of a note is ephemeral at best. How to “capture” these trust attestations in Nostr as data? Honestly… it seems simple to me … but for convention. nostr:note1ta9gzmtewn7jnslhjd8ew9322qp3rnyc56e9a0rj9f0x2ftndxhqcy7dwt
I like NIP-77 for trust attestations: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1208 And one of my goals with https://brainstorm.ninja is to try out NIP-77
My plan: 1. calculate a WoT Influence score using follows and use that to stratify wiki articles 2. Enable users to issue contextual trust attestations following NIP-77 and the tapestry protocol 3. Whenever possible, use contextual trust attestations in place of follows data to calculate the influence scores Then perhaps try to generate interest in some wiki articles that are controversial-ish, enough so to motivate people to wish they had contextual trust attestations and then realize aha! We DO have them!
