Has anyone made a relay with a whitelist based on proven physical locations (by mailing auth codes to real addresses)? @rabble some group was considering that right?

Once a year everyone renews their auth to show they still live there. Really good way to get an actual pulse on civic opinions

I can’t see what that does, but probably not. I was thinking more like a server for a city like idk Austin. And everyone on the server got mailed a letter with an auth code in it. So everyone posting on the relay is probably living in Austin. Could use ZK Proofs for the address info too so the server wouldn’t have to store the data.

On the Proof-of-Place side of things, yup. Hacked this together as a PoC: https://meatspacestr.io Concept could be used for various different use cases.

Are you storing the mapping of place to pubkey anywhere? If so, it might be able to be done with ZKProofs instead, right? Regardless, this might also be useful for Onosendai’s cyberspace that is mapped to physical space @arkinox

Also, my thinking was less around mapping people to exact places (though it could be that like in your example project). I was thinking of just using it for simple whitelisting. So you could stop foreign agents from pretending to be citizens online for example.

Proof-of-Person with specific, Attested, goo-location attributes could be a thing. https://nostrhub.io/naddr1qvzqqqrcvypzp384u7n44r8rdq74988…

Not doing very much right now, but Places would be published from the pubkey of course. What is the ZKP angle?

Nathan is my buddy. We are in touch about this stuff 🫡 However, I haven't thought very hard about the correlation with cyberspace, if any 🤔

I just remember your cyberspace D and cyberspace C or whatever. And one of those planes being mapped onto real geo space

why would someone with a functioning brain want to doxx themselves? are you trying to build an easy way to shoot morons with autonomous drones connected to the internet? your argument is fallacious. you are nudging people into this. i highly recommend you reconsider encourage public confession or i may confuse you with a religious cult lunatic and expect the kool aid to come out next.

oh mleku. Have you ever searched the internet for a business with a physical address? That is what it's used for you goof.

It could also be used for individuals to validate that they live within a certain region (without giving anyone their exact address). Like so they can post on region specific relays. @Nathan Day the ZKP angle is so a mapping of my pubkey to my exact address doesn’t have to be stored anywhere. I just prove that I exist within a large database of addresses somewhere
