Thanks everyone.
Still figuring out how to get NIP-05 to work with my domain.
None of the guides I've found seem dummy proof enough for me to figure out.
Once I do I might write one up myself. #[1]

Getting a 404 for https://btcgandalf.com/.well-known/nostr.json
Where are you trying to host it?
Never mind it literally just started working after I refreshed lol
Yeah I fixed it thanks to your Tweet url path giving me a clue on how to do it. I had my .well-known file outside my public_html root folder. Moved it in and boom.
Do I put the NIP-05 identifier field on my nostr client as gandalf@btcgandalf.com?
Yeah.
I think you might need to do this as well: https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/6320787-do-you-support-cors
Browser based clients might not be able to verify otherwise.
Check @nvk 's guide.... should work
1) Create a directory in the root directory called ".well-known"
2) Create a file called nostr.json
3) Put this in it:
{
"names": {
"BTCGandalf": "ee0e01eb17fc6cb4cd2d9300d2f8945b51056514f156c6bc6d491b74496d161a"
}
}
4) Create a file in the root directory called ".htaccess"
5) Put this line in it:
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
6) In the NIP05 field put this:
BTCGandalf@BTCGandalf.com
Or, since your domain name is the same as the name you want to be referred to as, you could just replace the name with "_" instead. For example in nostr.json:
"_": "ee0e01eb17fc6cb4cd2d9300d2f8945b51056514f156c6bc6d491b74496d161a"
And in NIP05:
_@BTCGandalf.com
Great tutorial by #[5] https://orangepill.dev/nostr-guides/guide-to-verify-nostr-profile-nip05-identifier-with-your-domain/
I ended up having to add this into my htaccess file:
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "*"
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET"
Good luck Gandalf 🤙
Thanks for sharing this. Also, Gandalf if you are stuck somewhere and need help setting it up, I could help you out.
