Hey #plebchain #asknostr,

I am still handing out free Nostr-Adresses (NIP05) to spice up your profile!

Short info about NIP05;

Your account is made with a public key, which is very long and confusing. In order to make 100% sure you are talking with the person you think you are, you should check the npub key. Dont trust, verify, right? To help in this process there is the NIP05 nostr-adress. Your npub is made simple; kinda like an email-address, easy to read and fast to check. Because your npub is linked via my domain to your NIP05 the client you are using will do the npub check. Only the owner of the account with the linked npub will show a valid NIP05, any other account will show it as invalid.

To clarify; This isnt linked to twitter, your profile name, your email-address or anything like that. Really just a way to make your npub easier to check and to see a nice checkmark in most clients! Some clients show it as 'verified' or with a checkmark, but you should always check for yourself and don't trust checkmarks, badges, names or profile pictures. Some are easily spoofed; name@N0str-check.com, did you notice the zero instead as an 'o'?

(I also own N0str-check.com, you dont bother).

Send me a note to get a free Nostr-address!
