Nostr Web Client

I think NIP-05 aliases are far from being a must have!

Some people with personal registered domains may find it useful to add a domain alias to their pubkey.

Or maybe in a Company it could be useful as a way to announce their official pubkey.

But I don't see any value on it for the normal user.

I even think assigning a checkmark in the UI to every user with a defined NIP-05 alias is misleading and helping the spammers and scammers.

The only value it does have for normies is, as #[0] pointed out, it makes it easier to give someone your contact.

"Hey how can I add you on nostr?"

"My pubkey is npub..." vs "Just add me@domain.com"

Dunno... I'm not convinced of that.

- In real life, it seems easier to use QR scan to add a new contact.

- In virtual space, it looks similar to copy-paste a npub than a domain name, imo.
