I don’t understand the point of NIP-05. Like, if you’re trying to prove some real-world identity, sure, use NIP-05 to show that you own the-rock@the-rock.com but why should anyone else do it? Why all these verification sites that let you choose a random NIP-05 address? Doesn’t nostr already provide you with one of those?

Nip-05 handles should not be treated as a proof of one’s identity.

You should rather tread them as human-readable ‘usernames’ 🤙
