Some time ago there was a guy who supposedly worked on a place that issued a bunch of these code things and managed them and he wanted to make them on Nostr, I don't remember exactly.

The guy has vanished, but his spirit came back and now dtonon (npub1000…vwqk) has wrote this nice proposal.

quoting nevent1q…juen

What if products had a Nostr *NPRODUCT* instead of the usual GTIN (UPC/EAN/JAN/ISBN/etc) code?

- Manufacturers would own the digital identity of their products, for free, without be locked in the proprietary GTIN (UPC/EAN/JAN/ISBN/etc) market;

- It would be possible for buyers follow a product they own and be alerted about production problems, updates, news and suggestions;

- Nostr e-commerce/reviews apps would have a better integration for products, with a news live feed from the manufacturers;

- Manufacturers could offer a specialized customer support via DM using the product profile;

- Manufacturers could promote resellers, and possibily onboard them on Nostr;

- Manufacturers or sellers could cryptographically certify the purchase of a product to issue a warranty;

Identity attestation is easy, the nproduct is stamped as qrcode on the product or its packaging.

Let's introduce NIP-88, a PR about products classification:

Comments and feedback are welcome!

Except for the fact that real-world implementation will take a million years I like it very much (except for the 'nproduct' new bech32 code).
