Proof of person, proof of profession, proof of competence – the three layers we'll need if Nostr is going to mean anything in a world overrun by AI agents.
On the fifth episode of Say WoT?, I sat down with @david and @Nathan Day to dig into it. Bots are first-class citizens here, and that's a feature, not a bug. The work is figuring out how to know who's who they claim to be, without falling back on the surveillance model the legacy web tried to sell us.
Nathan's Person NIP is days away. David's tags are already being prototyped. The substrate is forming.
Tune in on Fountain, or wherever you get your Nostr signal.

Proof of personhood is just human spam filter. Rest will be bots.
I know it can seem silly, but I just created this little project related to beach clean ups, (one little upgrade pending is to use transparent bags..)
IMO nostr and zaps can provide genuine unforgettable, unfakeable signal if done carefully.. then a website just organizes and works with the information.
What I think is achieved is I can talk with actions, through a habit consitently held in time, through proof of work, made possible only thanks to a set of free networks of peers like the ones we enjoy here!🙏🧡💙🌊


Limpieza de playas + Bitcoin Nostr Zaps | Trash is Cash | Cash are Sats
Limpieza de playas y zonas naturales recompensada con Bitcoin (sats) vía Nostr. Seguimiento en abierto: salidas, volumen recogido, zappers.
We should see agent’s acting on behalf of humans. Like “this bot belongs to this proven human” type of thing
Web of trust features in Nostr clients will be the "algo".

Proof of personhood is the most interesting aspect of most. A NIP would be awesome.
