I’ve been thinking about the idea of a “web of trust layer.”
A “layer” is basically a NIP-51 list of pubkeys where you associate each pubkey with a WoT score, like this:
[“p”, <pubkey>, <score>]
The idea is that you can have distinct “layers” with WoT scores that are calculated using distinct algos and can even have distinct data formats. Then different layers can be used for different purposes. One layer might be used to stratify content as is already being implemented by Pablo in #Wikifreedia or by me at brainstorm.ninja. Other layers could be used to supply the weights for doing weighted averages or other calculations. You could even have a system where Layer A is utilized in the determination of Layer B.
I don’t think we’d even need a new NIP for this, since NIP-51 already supports extra data fields (if I recall correctly).
Thoughts?
