everytime people talk about cryptographic petnames I just go back in time to the Semantic IRC, PSYC, SecuShare crowd
the one key thing that crowd always misses is that we are building this stuff for normal people to use. normal people don't care about any of this. they get user@domain and user.domain.tld subdomains.
people don't want to tell the difference between
- Alyssa (0x12345678)
- Alyssa (0x87654321)
and they aren't going to go to the trouble to build a trust graph
