Hmm, that’s interesting. I bet there could be some applications there. Like if Alice wants to report Bob, she doesn’t want to reveal her identity as the reporter, but she wants the report to be trusted so she makes a list of N trustworthy pubkeys where she’s on the list and signs using a ring signature.
Perhaps FROST could be used for this. Not exactly ring signatures, but related. Any thoughts ManiMe (npub1man…n9tn) ?
Definitely something to keep in the back of our minds!
