Reputation matters even if you are pseudonymous

“That’s why I love the reputation element of nostr. There will be pseudonymous accounts on here that you will be able to trust far more than people operating under their legal name due to the accumulation of reputation over time.

Jordan Peterson’s nonsense rant about anonymous troll-demons is going to be thoroughly disproven by nostr.

You’ll be able to follow signal and get quality opinions here in a way that the attention economy is thoroughly unsuited for.”

I agree that is why i try to keep my reputation as stained as possible. My grandpa used to say, "Always set the bar low so people don't have high expectations from you."

I use my legal name for most things like my gamer tag… remaining in the shadows is for villains

It doesn't stop sybil attacks (but then again neither does centralized social media which is rife with glowies and bots)

It seems anonymous posting would enable something similar to MLK's dream, where a post is judged not by the reputation (color) but by the character of its content. I just wonder if such a world could successfully mix with a reputation-based world or not.

Please, how can I look up those notehashes (pardon my ignorance)?

Agreed.

And the interesting thing will be to see how we rate, discover or validate reputations in Nostr and across all our community platforms...

Reminds me of that note: note17tnas8qz4z5fr3zeld7r8wau9fsr2w8pf8q26qrc6uhqgvq43heq44ak7c and that old post from Nick Szabo: https://mailing-list-archive.cryptoanarchy.wiki/archive/1993/10/391cfa9ead1a965fa2daf598b127418b520980024b841691631f516c32317766/

Thanks for your response. These words from Nick Szabo are equally interesting and frightening:

“With our current tools it's practically impossible to maintain an active pseudonym for a long period of time against a sufficiently determined opponent, and quite a hassle to maintain even a modicum of decent security.”

when you start looking into creating and maintaining a nym, you gain even more respect for satoshi. 🥷

верно))) а самое что интересное не важно кто ты... главное что ты несешь... ты готов платить за смешные картинки? или за статью написаннаю ИИ?? так вот. мы плавно перейдем от мысли к идеи... а это куда важнее чем экономия энергии для того что б отодвинуть конец энергетики... Биткоин открывает новые горизонты... и он не просто так придуман... Изучай до безконечности...
