Karnage on Nostr: I want to publicly apologize to Will for temporarily impersonating him to start the ...
I want to publicly apologize to Will for temporarily impersonating him to start the conversation. It was not the brightest move. You can tell I’m not well versed in ethical “hacking”. I can understand why that may be upsetting.
Sorry Will. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive.
At the same time I’m concerned with this issue. It’s clear to me that NIP5 is not effective at stopping this type of issues. Anyone can get a NIP5 and nobody will know what your real NIP5 is supposed to be.
While I have some reputational risk, a scammer has zero to lose by paying a little and replying within a hot thread. I could see cases where someone may be able to rip people off fairly easily without much effort.
Right now it’s not much of an issue but down the road it could become one. Hopefully smarter people than myself are already thinking about these things and kicking around viable ideas.
I’ll accept any fallout. I’m not a perfect person.
