A contract requires a valid signature in order to be legal. That signature can either be hand written or electronic (using software specifically recognised and vetted as a trust service provider by the government), depending on the government rules. In some countries, a notary is also required, but let’s leave that out of the conversation, since it doesn’t affect the topic.

Good luck getting a decentralised network accepted as a trust service provider if it’s not even fully embraced as a social network… Who’s going to promote it as a TSP to governments? Who’s going to use it apart from the 3 guys that wrote the NIP?

And that brings us to the other aspect of it. How do you expect that to work, if Nostr fails as a social network and most of the relays die with it? Who’s gonna sign your legal documents then?

Again… fantasies…

Now don’t get me wrong, creativity is always awesome and we shouldn’t let it die away. It’s also very fun and exciting to have at it with ideas such as this one. But that’s the thing. They’ll end up being just that. Ideas.
