#GM folks. Was just talking to my wife about students being students, doing things like screenshotting library passes...
Got me thinking of a school oriented #Nostr ecosystem, where passes are signed with a teacher or other admin's nsec. Admittedly they may not even need relays here and this could feasibly just be an OpenPGP implementation paired with a QR system for signed passes, but it does feel like a local, non-networked relay, or closed system of relays could bring something to the table (perhaps if only to push the pass to the student themselves, and also to tie it to their npub so it isn't able to be surreptitiously transferred to another student). It wouldn't really be different than a ticketing system, just with the check that the tickets aren't transferrable.
Might need to involve work at both the relay and client level in order to make it safe and appropriate in a #school environment, but the amount they usually instead lean on big tech ecosystems is pretty gross. And this seems like a pretty solid example of #OtherStuff that could introduce the protocol to a larger audience while generally solving a problem.
