You are describing a web of trust: different people and different sources to increase the probability (it's never a yes/no) that someone is who they say they are on the internet.

good to know that I am on the same page ☺️
This is a great basis to build upon.
So, what are the ways, we can increase the probability?
You mention different people and different sources…
Honestly what comes to mind of #proofofwork
The more places I provide evidence of effort ( #pow ) the higher the probability it is “me” vs “you impersonating me”.
So in the Nostr sphere…how does one adequately do this?
Again, “body of work” comes to mind from an academic vernacular, but in brass tacks, boots on the ground, sort of way…how do we do this?
(Ie most of us just experienced the reply guy bot “attack”. What’s keeping someone from creating a bot that out works me because I’m only human and therefore akin to #btc 51% attack wins…)
Pow was created to avoid spam in mail. It serves for any other protocol.
It shows a signal that you are willing to take this seriously.
