With Phoenix gone from the US market, is there any comparable service I can recommend to normies?
I actually wonder if an uncle jim LSP would be an MSB... part of that distinction was always iirc frequency, and whether it was run "like a business". Plus you automagically meet KYC with uncle jim setups.
Of course, feds seem to be tearing up the rulebook and doing whatever they feel like, but how are they gonna know anyway?...
Is there any nip that provides alternative download methods for links?
If you imagine a kind 1 with an image linked in the content, you could include a tag that provides the sha256 for that URL, and maybe a list of blossom server hints, magnet link, etc.
There's obviously A LOT of overlap with NIP-94 but it's still fairly distinct.

Is there any built in nostr "verification" method?
I'm imagining something like a bip-32 label that would indicate a user completed some form of verification, which applications can use as an anti-spam measure. The specific form of verification is irrelevant, and many providers could exist, they'd publish an event to indicate the result:
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "captcha-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "captcha-verified"],
["l": "email-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "phone-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "payment-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
"payment-verified" might include the amount paid
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "fidelity-bonded", "verification"],
],
...
}
"fidelity-bonded" might include a UTXO and BIP-127 proof
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "twitter-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
"twitter-verified" might include the URL of a tweet committing to the verifiedpubkey (and something from the verifiedpubkey committing to the twitter account?)
I'm not sure if the extra information might warrant a different kind than normal labels.
