Nostr Web Client

I think domain as identifier can provide that status here if someone wants it. Funny #[2] doesn’t use one at all, and #[3] users nostr plebs. Can’t hate on being with the plebs. Wish they did because when we start to onboard notable people like Kennedy, they probably should be advised to use this as part of their onboarding.

Twitter got carried away, and domains scale appropriately, one user recognized me from my SoundCloud days and they can verify it’s really me, don’t need blue checks for sub genres. Maybe we need to allow for multiple domains, so if you have done something notable in a different realm you could verify that.

NIP-39 confirms your identity at other places (Twitter, GitHub, Mastodon & Telegram)…

But AFAIK none of the big clients support it. Yesterday I noticed it in action on #[5]‘s profile at nostr.build, but haven’t asked him how he set it up.

Badges could also be another status / credentialing tool depending on how they’re used. The issue is knowing which badges mean something significant.

I could see those two things working together, earn a badge for linking. #[3] could issue badges.

don’t love the centralized domain system, but it does work and scale better than a general mark. I think will talked about removing the checks from damus. I’d like to use my domain hack as a my only “name” crossed nostr. And bluesky has proven this is a very popular method of identifying. A little bit of old internet is ok.

I agree. I think Will needs to read that article and think about what motivates people to participate in social media.

Don’t ever kill anything that confers “status”.

And the thing is I don’t remember because I’ve tried so many nostr apps. One of them must have set it. But which one? Dunno.
