Who is using it for what? @btc_remnant @dannybuntu is this compatible with our verifications/attestations? It sounds like their "attestations" are our "endorsements"?
What are endorsements? Do you have a NIP or some ref docs I can look at.
Attestations are kind agnostic.
@Tim Bouma will be using it for #safebox.
@arkinox for @Fanfares.
@BTC Map for Proof of Place.
I think it works really well for @Zapstore too.
Hell, we can even define what Nostr is itself by using the NIP NIP @npub1q3sl...d26p has created.
Our existing system is a powerful, specific implementation of what the Attestations NIP aims to generalize. Our "verifications" are a highly specialized form of their "attestations." The NIP is not a replacement for our testing infrastructure but a potential protocol for broadcasting our results. Adopting the NIP could significantly increase the reach and interoperability of our findings within the broader Nostr ecosystem, making WalletScrutiny a foundational "Attestor" for app reproducibility.
We use a sophisticated, automated testing infrastructure to perform reproducible build verifications for cryptocurrency wallets, primarily for Android and hardware wallets. The goal is to determine if the publicly available application binary matches the publicly available source code. The results are published as detailed "Review Pages" on our website.
Attestations NIP: This is a new, generic proposal for making, tracking, and revoking truthfulness claims about any event on Nostr. It is not specific to wallets or reproducible builds. As it's a new proposal, it currently has no widespread adoption, but it aims to be a foundational layer for any "web of trust" application, from fact-checking to reputation systems.
