Nostr Web Client

My comparison of Nostr and Bluesky goes on:

Verifying my username on Bluesky via my own domain was totally easy and straightforward by adding a TXT entry in the DNS panel. As long as one knows how to add a DNS entry.

The NIP-05 verification for Nostr is much more complex. You need different files, the HEX of your npub, put a folder in your public-html folder and add a htaccess file. The tutorials I found were all confusing to me. In the end I think I did it right or not?

Why is Amethyst showing this red icon?

How can I test my setup?

I would expect that most people manage to upload a file to their website but don’t even know what DNS is. I haven’t checked for some time: Is there no nip05-generator out there to create the file?

It’s not just one file. It’s easy to create the json, but there’s no explanation where the public-html folder has to be for an addon domain like in my case. And yes neither DNS entry nor this solution are something a regular user understands.

Problem solved.

Unfortunately, that depends on the configuration software the hoster is using. In most cases there is some way to match a domain (or subdomain) with a specific folder. Others create the folders automatically.
