Would most nostriches accept bitcoin as a central source of truth? I know
larry.btc (npub132w…2j8n) 's nip-69 was much hated for its "Damus+" roll out and reliance on Stacks/BNS. I know many are skeptical of the use of oridinals, but it seems inevitable that we will use the bitocin timechain as a central source of truth for identity in some form. Saylor is certainly thinking of this in the corporate space. Just b/c ordinals has many dumb use cases doesn't meen that this couldn't be a good one. I'm sure a pure bitcoin only naming protocol could be made using UTXOs but it would be an expensive, unscalable path for nostr long-term. And nip-05 is very authoritarian- and centralized entity- sensitive. For example, if Github blocked github-pages, then quite a few nip05s would go offline.
PGP key revocation relies on keyservers, so it's not reasonable.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/829 has a somewhat-comparable model that may work for Nostr, but anchored on more solid grounds.
