nostr.band becomes the first provider to offer their trust analysis as assertion events, enabling users to select their service and display additional info about each pubkey from a global network standpoint. I hope more service providers join.
This is particularly useful for summaries about users and events that are impossible for clients to compute locally, like the total amount of zaps sent and received by users, average daily zap amounts, most common topics a pubkey talks about, etc. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1534
Sounds like surveillance to me
If you use open relays on Nostr, all your data is available for anyone to surveil you.
This is why choosing the right relays for your content is important.
What is open relay vs closed?
How does this account for private zaps on Amethyst? I'm pretty sure my sent stats on nostr.band haven't changed in months because of it. As far as I know it gets routed through a random npub rather than display the actual sender to anyone but the receiver.
Maybe this makes me look statistically stingy. 🤷
That's a cool stuff.
By the way how zaps sent are calculated? I see all 0s at my profile.
