Great article. This is exactly why I strongly dislike ideas like requiring users to have NIP-05 identities under specific whitelisted domains in order to write to a relay. Don’t bring the temptation of domain-wide blocks to Nostr. There are good ideas we can borrow from ActivityPub, but domain blacklisting/whitelisting isn’t one of them. Nostr should be moving away from DNS, not towards it.

Nip05 is from the past

💯

Nostr identities relay on the keys (nsec/npub), not on DNS names.

NIP-05 is just a way to set DNS alias, but we don't have to move the identity to the DNS name.
