Cool. Approximately how many npubs?

simple good

353,555 Here is the jsonl file if you want to look at it. Sorry that this is a Google Drive link:

ditto-kind0.jsonl

Kind 0 is pretty amazing. It's a global directory of self-signed metadata. If you trust the npub, you can trust the metadata.

Awesome! I'll wait until I get hotel wifi.

talking about kind 0's… thinking of nostr in a few years and millions of users sharing their stuff here, what are your thoughts on the risks of social exploitations of such open information? it's not a big deal today to build a social graph of nostr users, their connections, interests, political views, etc. if one would like to target some group with fake news or propaganda, using nostr open information it's possible to identify the most active, influential hubs, etc. the more mainstream the use of nostr, the bigger opportunity in such actions.

I think the publisher subscriber relationship is due to invert at some point - you will whitelist trusted npubs and ignore everything else. People can scream filter bubble all they want, but it’s the only pragmatic approach to what is coming.

Definitely will happen, or is happening already. We should build an extra privacy layer that can only be seen by the people that you select (family, friends, work, private).

You alone can decide whether to trust an npub. I think there is a great symbiosis between 'trusted domain names' (nip05) that can help bootstrap the trust in an npub. We already 'trust' domain names and DNSSEC helps to ensure these domain names can't be spoofed

> you will whitelist trusted npubs and ignore everything else. promising idea! seems to tackle some threats without direct control/filtering

nice, i’m not a monero guy, but sounds like this is the direction nostr could go

that’s really good. i was thinking of nip05s in terms of general identity proof (like my domain registered under my name), but never considered it could be part of building a broader trust system. interesting! where’s the catch though?
