Nip05s are basically worthless unless the domain can prove that you are you.

For example I could go get a verified account at NostrCheck for Donald Trump, doesn’t mean I am Donald trump. But if you prove that you own the domain or the owner proves the person they are verifying is who they say they are and the owner is also trustworthy, then it can be helpful.

I don't think the purpose of nip05 is to prove your identity, it's just to assert which pubkey goes with a given display name since display names aren't unique.

True, but many think this proves identity, it doesn’t

Those "many" have to start using their brains and do their own research. The future is about helping others but not hodling their hands forever.
