normalize sharing nostr addresses instead of npubs
Discussion
npubs are cooler though
Npubs are aesthetic
Ah yes “The magic string” effect. nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240
Is this something from the nostriga talk? I've not watched yet. But yeah there is a a certain mystique to the npub. Also signals 'something else'... Something...other. #xenostr 🥲
Rabble was using in the context of putting your magic nsec into other clients and having all your data appear, but there is a certain aesthetic of a magic npub string for referencing users. I still think nostr addresses and less magical and thats probably a good thing when referring to people.
shoulda been bech32m like taproot ... maybe we should just ignore the suffix ... is it used anywhere for anything ever? low-res qr codes?
We decided against it because it would have been a massive headache and the issue bech32m fixed was pretty minor
I get that. What im askign is the "checksum" itself actually ever used. If not, then it might not matter.
which one is the nostr address? newb here
You can associate your npub with a domain, jb55@jb55.com is an example. If you search this in clients you can get my npub.
What’s the most user-friendly guide to get this set up on a domain you own?
you can use https://damus.io/key/ to convert your npub to hex
I followed this guide, it was very easy to do.
🙌🏻 👍
you mean one could use his own domains? that would be nice, especially since we consider to use Nostr as 3rd platform to use
yes, I did it with my own domain.
oh very neat thank you 👌🏼
you don't have one!
it's a nip05 verification.
there are plenty of free and paid services out there. if you wanna use mine (nostrich.cc) then just send me a DM and I explain more..
I did send you a PM, also nostr:npub1qm7ny6seuv3h3ahnu96pyj7kc67ms8u3uce8p76433jd9ngr6qzsmtvlmk did (which is my service for nip05 identifiers).
sharing npubs might be freaking awesome but for some NPC adoption we should start share our NIP05s .
mine is hodladi@nostrich.cc
nostr:note19g4c8gmnvmggw99s9d4tua0vy8qff98cms5pyx2mnq93w4nagg3q5kuket
👀👀New ？
* profiles.
npubs are insufficient from a sharing standpoint.
I'll normalize something else, along with it, when i get to it
I agree but I like the domain instead of user at domain. But we render it shit work _@nos.social or _@rabble.nos.social vs nos.social / @nos.social & rabble.nos.social / @rabble.nos.social
The username@nip05.server looks like an email. If we did username.nip05.server it could both be a web view profile and a nostr name.
Anyway I think nostr names / addresses is way better than npub / nprofile sharing.
If we forbid dots on nip05 usernames, we enable @username.subdomain.domain.tld
npub . pro does this right?
It's great
npub.pro does the web hosting, yea! But as far as I know nobody’s connected npub.pro with nip-05 hosting.
So it allows me to add the domain as my NIP05 identifier, if that's what you mean.
That is, people can search for sachin.npub.pro like they would my NIP05 handle on Nostr clients and find me
I wonder if people in this thread including me understand 🤔

No. We want less dependence on DNS and certificate authorities. If an npub under determines discovery, then include an IP address of a trusted relay

Domains are gone after a while, npubs are forever.
What's a nostr address?
