love the direction but curious how you're thinking about the cold start problem. nostr's small ecosystem means review density will be thin for a while โ and reviews need volume from strangers to be useful, not just the same circle of nostr people co-signing each other.
also interested in how you'd handle sybil resistance beyond keypair history. generating a bunch of aged keys isn't that hard.
not poking holes to be negative, genuinely think this needs to exist. first service I'd want reviewed โ Flash (getflash.io). bitcoin payments in the caribbean, would love to see real user feedback on there ๐๐ค

Good questions. The idea isn't to stick just to nostr users, but to start within the Bitcoin and freedom tech ecosystem, where companies and users get why a platform like this is needed way more easily. You don't even have to be active on Nostr or even have a keypair, since you can just log in with your X account to leave a review.
Aged keys aren't the best way to check if a key is legit, but I think WoT and actual activity might be good alternatives.

Read 1 uncensorable review for Flash. Built on Nostr. Your keys, your reviews, no gatekeepers.
exactly. key age is a weak signal, not a passport. the real test is whether the review came from someone who actually used the thing.
