Replying to Avatar REUZ

I was thinking of making another account with my real name as perhaps the best way to be able to show that that is the legitimate one. As a sort of hedge if nostr gets more and more adoption and impersonating rises

Why, are you famous? Is there a reason someone might want to impersonate you?

No, but thats not the point. For some others there might be a reason, especially if nostr becomes mainstream. I can imagine that for some figures it's a vulnerability.

Ya. Then they can’t use nostr 😂

Or use a nip5 and people will know if they are legit

As KArnage says, It's the Nostr Address name verifier that is another layer of proof of who is the real you in that list of impersonators
