I plan to use badges, but this is about synergy between platforms and users ability to have varied identities for purpose. Not everybody wants their gamer tag to be the same as their public posting identity, and these will already be using the nip – 05 identifiers which have an entire ecosystem of verification and code written to handle them, since the users will be registering a wouldn’t it be good to allow them to utilize that more effectively in the ecosystem. We want to enable more platforms to adopt Noster and embracing varied used cases will help enable that adoption. We want to use standard identifier that are already embraced by users on NOSTR and just extend that capability to be more adaptive for the users and the platforms that offer registration that ties directly to their NPUB.

Badges are cool, but also useless to me since they are way easier to make and collect than domains. This isn't an either/or. It is a both/and.

Collecting identities seems odd. Are there any examples where someone would collect different identities on another platform that you have as an example?
