So autonag every nym to send a public key in.
Where do you send the autonag message? Do you trust the From: or Reply-To: fields?
It does not matter who the true identity associated with a public key is. My proposal is only that signatures be checked for consistent identity, not true name. Requiring true names would be most uncypherpunk. So it would be up to the nym to get his true public key to the list, not up to the list to discover the correct public key that signs a posting by a nym. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- We have the right to defend ourselves and our property, because of the kind of animals that we James A.
