Attestations allow the signalling of the validity of any other event. Now we have the NIP NIP by @Alex Gleason clients can effectively ACK/NAK those on a per NIP basis. Other devs/orgs can attest to the truthfulness/validity of those claims, along the same lines @WalletScrutiny does. Attestations all the way down. A WoT for notes.

A new (~~community~~) NIP is born. Attestations enable a Web-of-Trust for Notes, opening up a whole new design space. https://nostrhub.io/naddr1qvzqqqrcvypzp384u7n44r8rdq74988lqcmggww998jjg0rtzfd6dpufrxy9djk8qqxxzar5v4ehgct5d9hkuucwjpt8v Thanks to those that have helped me develop this idea, including @npub1q6mc...x7d5, @Avi Burra and @npub1arkn...h43w. 🫂

I think attestations from end users will be a great tool to keep “apps honest” … but not a fix on its own. In conjunction with voluntary “self reporting” by app developers AND education and support for actual people to “give a shit” about the app choices they make … we might crack this nut together. 💜
