We've collaborated with @Ray Buni so that our scores are correctly displayed on @profilestr. Pagerank (either global or personalized) is a number between 0 and 1, so it's not obvious how to normalized it to 0-100, where 100 means very high reputation.

Our relay will be down for a few minutes for maintenance.

Web of Trust 🤝 Rate Limiting We are collaborating with @Dezh Technologies and the @JellyFish premium relay to design a general purpose rate-limiting system powered by Nostr's Web of Trust. As Nostr scales, we believe this will be a game-changer for services that don’t monetize directly or prefer not to. By leveraging open source DVMs, this system can help reduce abuse—like spam and denial-of-service attacks—while still keeping access open and user-friendly.

Stoner numbers...fixed!

I would like to thank @OpenSats for accepting my application. It's such a relief to be able to work on my passion full time. But make no mistake, ethical, open monetization is still our priority.

Listening to @Ian Carroll TFTC rip with @Marty Bent on social credit scores, and on how to navigate a world increasingly full of bots and impersonators. We all agree being linked to an identity "issued by" a central authority is not the way...it's a dangerous path to censorship and control. On the other hand if everyone is free to manage their online identities we will drown in an ocean of noise, so web of trust is the natural way to fix it. Vertex is the first reliable, trustworthy, real time web of trust solution for open social protocols.

NEW: Throw anything (npub, hex, nip05) at npub.world and it will understand. In search or URL. 🚀

Early days in the web of trust DVM specs, things still very much in flux, but we would love to see other providers implementing them. Can't wait to see more clients upgrading their UX effortlessly, and for users to easily swap out providers. Our reputation is our most important asset, but from a consumer standpoint ruggability should be minimized. OPEN PROTOCOL INTEROPERABILITY FTW!
