Just to look at both sides here, as someone who want's email ded. Nostr can still be a privacy nightmare though in many different ways. Choose you own nightmare for now I guess.
Discussion
True, but it can't be worse than email, or can it? 😄
I really don't know - my reputation is to be stupid 🤣 - but we already use the same address format (at least with nip-05), and we already can send money to these addresses, not only text.*
Lightning is there, so in a theoretical hyperbitcoinized future my electricity company could send me a lightning bill embedded directly, and things like that.
* Shameless pluck: Want a free #nostr and vanity #lightning address? Be my guest at zaps.lol
You coded that? I got mine there. I don't think I'm using it right, though.
Aww sweet, yes I did. I am never checking the users though 🤣
What am I supposed to do with it? I did when I was trying to figure out how to get a lightning wallet
It makes it more easy for others to find you, they can search for that address instead of the cryptic npub. You maybe can also use it to have the same lightning address, so you could redirect bigretard@coinos.io to resonance@zaps.lol as well
Do people have to search the full resonance@zaps.lol or just resonance?
Maybe I could change the address to resonance... Maybe same thing, idk
If they follow you, clients are smart enough. If I type "@reso" you come up.
It's more about being discoverable by others I think. And you need the @domain part.. the whole thing works with web domains, so getting rid of it is not possible right now. That's why I tried to get an "as short as possible" domain name 😄
Makes sense. OK, I probably just messed up lightning... But I think I changed it to resonance on both ends. I must be the only one with this name cuz it didn't complain
I think you did all perfectly good. 👍
Sending still works. Can you test the other way for me?
Hmm... This might be a cool scam to get zaps...
Sending also works, but I sent to your coinos address now. If you login to zaps.lol you could put that coinos address in and it would redirect, so you could use "resonance@zaps.lol" as your nostr address and lightning address. That step is totally optional and purely cosmetic though, so no need.
Zapping you works fine 😊
mmm... I might have lost whatever details I needed to log back in. I tend to lose those...
Oh it needs a browser extension. I still haven't gotten into using extensions.
Yeah, I was too lazy to code more. sorry 😅
It works with Alby, e.g.
Put as I said, it's very optional. There are no disadvantages in not having that redirect. It's just like an "forward to my other address" for emails
What does a coffee reaction mean btw 😅 I wondered yesterday and now I do again
Yesterday I thought it meant "you had too much caffeine, calm down" 😄
Well for one thing, I have the IP address of everyone that loaded my profile, and probably even this note. I can't map it to an npub, yet.
Because you run a relay, or does your client give you that?
I host my profile picture and nip05 verification myself. So I can see when user's load it.
So your profile pic is a script? Sneaky and neat, I love it 😄 also hosting my NIP but it's a service so am a good citizen and don't log anything
No I'm not that evil, I haven't been driven to do anything like that yet. It's just a picture. I'm just saying if I wanted to I could log those IPs just like you do with nip05. I also don't log until there are issues like ddos. Which happens on occasion.
All good, I didn't intend to accuse you 🫂
I just thought it's a neat idea.
And just to be clear: my nip-05 service isn't logging anything on my side. maybe Microsoft does because it's hosted on GitHub but even then I wouldn't know.
