Not working on it currently, however I think if Nostr had improved security for profiles so that there is a way confirm and verify identities, it would greatly help. A profile could have an equivalent of a nameserver record. Name definitions would be dependent upon a social graph. It would technically be possible for the same name to mean different things to different groups of people. Those types of disagreements could be displayed in the user interface and would leave it up to the user to decide. These types of events would not likely be common. Improving security of profiles I think involves two parallel goals: 1. Ability to confirm an identity through a social graph (e.g. people you know can help to verify that a profile is the authentic one). This will be useful for completely new users, as well as a user that has had a compromised key. 2. Ability to revoke a key. This will inform followers that a key can not be trusted anymore. This will not include any suggestion of the next key, as it has been compromised it would be useless anways.
