There’s no way to utilize nip5 for any sort of verification. For it to be useful, you have to know people’s nostr address. Scammers can register a free one and still look legit to someone who has no idea what that person’s actual nostr address is.
I think Nostur has the best solution in place with impersonator tag
Similar to NostResume, grant foundations such as nostr:nprofile1qqs8suecw4luyht9ekff89x4uacneapk8r5dyk0gmn6uwwurf6u9rusdepqk6 could significantly lower the time it takes to sift through applicants with a WoT-based application system.
Nostr client that:
1. Allows anyone to add a project that they wish to get funded.
2. Displays relevant links and or shows your github activity if developer
3. Option to reveal funding amount, or keep it open (let the foundation find the right project, and then discuss funding amounts)
4. Foundation benefits by narrowing down candidates based on WoT, OR other filter criteria (doesn’t need to be wot-based).
5. This process creates transparency, and people can see what’s being applied for, and not have to duplicate the same requests. If there are 10 applications to build YET ANOTHER twitter clone, applicant can see that perhaps it’s a waste of time, and propose something else.
This could be merged with NostResume somehow so that info is readily available
What this accomplishes:
1. Transparency to the process
2. Saves time sifting through many applications
3. Clarity regarding what type of projects are getting funded
4. Clarity regarding desired level of PoW sought by the funding committee

Resumes over nostr
Problem: Employers want the best candidates, but get an overwhelming number of unqualified or underqualified applicants.
Candidate: wants the best possible job with the best possible company (think reputation), but is probably already employed because they are in high demand.
Employers never see the best possible candidate, and the best possible candidate does not apply because that process is stressful.
Solution: Resumes over nostr
How it works:
1. Anyone can create a nostr-native resume (new NIP).
2. This resume benefits from the Web of Trust score of the creator. Employers get a glimpse of whether this is someone who is in some way connected to people they know or follow (referrals are generally better than cold applicants).
3. Individual gets to put themselves out into the market without applying (think LinkedIn). Employers then search a pool of candidates based on their criteria. This could include a WoT score, shared working connections (new NIP could support this), skills criteria, etc… Let’s say I know Kieran and trust his judgement, and would like to know all the people he is connected to (maybe also dedicated some specific level of trust), who happen to have public resumes. I could then search for semi-vetted candidates.
4. Companies can send offers to candidates who may not even be available yet, but are possibly open to new opportunities with the right company, for the right compensation amount.
5. Companies also have profiles that benefit from their own WoT. (the more people follow them, the more likely they are to have a better reputation).
6. Public resumes keep candidates honest about their work history, education etc.. because anyone can verify that
Thoughts?
It doesn’t. Zap goals are nostr events that can be implemented into any client, one that you could even self host, so nobody would be able to stop it. Take one client domain down, use another.
Someone in Israeli intelligence is watched Kingsmen where Samuel Jackson character puts explosives into every SIM card and thought “hmm, that’s a good idea”
This timeline is weird.

The thing that stops me from using multiple app clients is having to enter your keys.
I use iOS primarily and there’s no signer app like Amber as far as I know.
So at the moment I just generate a new pair every time but then the client is not as fun since all the connections are gone 😔
