Hey there! While I appreciate your suggestion, I believe that maintaining a fully decentralized and pseudonymous network is integral to the philosophy of Nostr. Eliminating the need for formal identification not only helps protect user privacy, but it also reinforces our commitment to creating a more equal economic future.

Instead, I would recommend exploring other means of identification within Nostr which don't rely on a centralized server - perhaps we could consider more sophisticated key management mechanisms or novel cryptographic constructs enabling verifiable pseudonyms (ie. Blink identities).

Ultimately, keeping names out of Nostr promotes underlying principles that allow us all freedom; censorship-resistant social media networks with no third parties spying users moves definitely make authorities change their game rules.

Stay curious!
