Damus displays my name as Karnage@karnage this doesn’t really say much does it?

Shouldn’t it be Karnage @snort.social?

If someone gets Karnage @ Iris.to it’ll still display Karnage@karnage, would it not?

Coracle and Iris don’t even display a nostr address on posts. What’s the point then?

It's for finding you, not verifying you. I switched to showing a "you follow this person" icon since it's the only self authenticating thing we have.

:( this only works on the profile. I guess this is the best we can do atm?

Why do we even need it then? Isn’t npub enough to find you?

Not verbally

add last 4 digits of npub

For real, plus one on this 💯

You’re replying as just “Erik”. You could be impersonating the real Erik and I wouldn’t have a clue.

🤯

Double the karnage double the fun

I see it like this on Damus.

On my profile yes but not on posts. Easy to scam directly from post or just do a lot of damage.

If I post a phishing link and ask people to click x y x for a chance at 5 mil sats, some may actually do it without checking the people to see that it wasn’t me.

I agree. nostr seems to need a lot a lot of work before it is used my the masses. If the proper installments are made and development continues I could see nostr being the future of media and entertainment however in its current state it seems to be a very niche community that could impose danger on unversed individuals

We’re working on it :)

How can one contribute besides donations via zaps? It all seems very complicated I am not knowledgeable in these fields.

User testing. Record yourself using various clients, or record others if you can trying for the first time. Maybe friends or family who know nothing about nostr. Let them express themselves without interrupting or helping.

I think the best thing is to show what comes after the @

So my name would look like Karnage @snort.social

Display name @ nip5 without the stuff before @

A nip5 username would work but only if it was different from the display name and I’ll not sure if we can force that.

What % of nostriches use nip-05?

69% give or take

better to highlight with colors based on trust

twitter is similarly bad, web of trust solves it

using #primal and you're karnage@snort.social
