you can also use a free lightning wallet with getalby.com that integrates your NIP-05 for example yours could be danveltri@getalby.com which would function as both your NIP05 and your LN address all in one :)

Thanks y’all. Very helpful info. I think I understand it about 75% now, haha. Is it just the domain that’s being verified as legit, or the person / username somehow? Based on what you shared, I guess it’s just domain.
Related question: are usernames unique on Nostr?
usernames are not unique but NIP-05 identities are
Actually, I don’t quite get it. What’s the meaning of NIP-05 verification?
so that nobody can imposter you.
its an easy to read version of your pubkey
Will it impinge on privacy or anonymity, which is the very purpose of Web 3?
My understanding based on the above replies is that NIP-05 verification means the domain and Nostr account identity are verified to be paired; however, it’s not necessarily true that the person is who they say they are.
Maybe there will be NIP-05 verification services in the future (if they don’t already exist) that serve this purpose (to verify the person is who they say they are).
