The #nostr #npub identifier is the only type of identifier that I know of that can:
1. sign data
2. send and receive encrypted data, and
3. receive value (sats)
using a resilient and redundant infrastructure (relays).
And it’s all cryptographically assured (no trust required).
If that’s not enough to drop what you’re doing and build entirely new solutions, you’re not paying attention.
