Relays that want to be public or semi-public need more ways to discern an npub that has a real person behind it from an automated sybil attack, and this is a great idea.
But instead of selling npubs someone should sell badges.
But if you're doing it from a physical location then a badge could just be given for free as long as the process can't be automated.
Anyone doing anything fancy shmancy with supply chains and npubs, like a list of npubs that get paid at point of sale, that can be verified by the customer/merchant?
Im sure mixing the tools we have something rad could be built.

Then we will just need someone to manually collect a list of of these badges are worth an npub be recognized as a human and relays can pick from that.
