Like I lock 10k sats to @dread . he _can_ spend them, but he doesn't. My locking demonstrates my trust in him, his refusal to spend them demonstrates that my trust isn't misplaced.
And I can repeat this with whoever else I want (including nostr:npubs that represent collective entities).

Maybe kinda pointless, kinda neat.

Cool idea. I worry that people will bid up others and get rugged. How would you cap it?

No reason to bid anyone up. You just put up however much you trust that person with. It's not a contest.

Maybe it's a better idea for mints than for people.

Holding bank notes from other banks was common practice under free banking. They would regularly settle up.

Mints could offer those notes for sale. The mint saves on fees and it serves as a discovery mechanism for new mints.

seems like this could work for both mints and for people. maybe even relays too.

i think bidding up and getting rugged would be a natural growing pain as everyone interacts with this "trust marketplace" until very trusted npubs are established
