okay, sort of fair point, but are really phone numbers are the best to generate a has from
i mean yeah i guess thats a unique identifier, since we are here on nostr i guess that is a valid question to create unique identifier hashes without having duplicates, because if im not wrong this is how crypto wallets and nostr identifiers work, why is a phone number the best proof of somebody being an actual human being, like ai agents can have phone numbers as well, and on the other hand if it is just a hash i can generate other peoples hashes on my own device with giving other peoples phone number, or dont you think this is a possible point of failure?
also if the verification is through an sms code, that means that my number went out from my device to somewhere so they could sent the sms or smt
