Btw… You weren’t the only one who got retina scanning vibes from the old Verified Human name. 😂 Of course the idea itself is the exact opposite. It’s an inclusive invitation based relay (in the works) where the only criteria to get invited is to not be a spam bot. I devised it to respect anonymity above all else. Instead of using gov id (like FB) or swiping identity revealing credit cards (Twitter). NotaBot uses social proof of work and reputation to build a scalable web of trust. Identity actually doesn’t even play a role. It doesn’t matter who you are, only that you are not a spam bot.

So after some much appreciated feedback at Nostrica from people like fp (npub1gu9…4t8z) and @Mills I decided to change the name to https://NotaBot.net (not a bot). I already had the domain, it sounds better, more to the point, etc. I also updated the home screen copy to address the value prop right away and added a more extensive write up on how it works.

Hope this clears things up, and that you and crew take a look at it with fresh eyes. Everybody is looking for novel ideas that leverage Nostr’s unique qualities, and I think this fits the bill. Hit me up with any questions. I love this project and I’m always happy to talk about it. 💜
