Imagine using the Decentralized Lists custom NIP to create a list of βpubkeys whose npubs Iβve verified with the owner in detail in the flesh in real lifeβ. Maybe a shorter title but the description could be as detailed as desired.
Then use Trusted Assertions to fetch the βrankβ metric and using that to curate the list.
There you go, decentralized proof of personhood.
To bring WoT to nostr, we need two primitives:
1. a way to ask questions
2. a way to answer them
or, stated another way:
1. a way to represent information
2. a way to curate information
or, stated another way:
1. the concept graph
2. the grapevine
or, stated another way:
1. Decentralized Lists (Custom NIP)
2. NIP-85: Trusted Assertions
or, stated another way:
1. math
2. physics
Perhaps one of the #WoTathon prizes can be: decentralized curation of a simple list. We would require that personalized trust metrics must be used in the curation, and that it should support any arbitrary list. But the prize could be agnostic regarding which trust metric to use. And also agnostic about how the lists are put together. One method could be my draft NIP: Decentralized Lists. But Iβd love to see other methods too. Maybe use an approved NIP like NIP-32. Or maybe do a keyword search of NIP-51 lists and combine the results into a composite list, using the personalized trust metric to weight the NIP-51 list authors.
