On Bogbook awhile back I had someone coming on and identifying as @ev, which looked exactly the same as my handle, which is @ev, and then pretending to be me while I was sleeping. The solution I came up with was to provide a small in-line public key hint: image After I did that whoever it was cut it out, because everyone could see he had different public key than my own.

* had a different public key [...] Anyway, the issue is a little bit wandering towards Zooko's triangle, but that's the solution I came up with.
