Replying to Avatar Daniel aka Bitcoin Gandalf

What am I doing wrong here?

Trying to get NIP-05 verified with my own domain.

I've got the domain hosted.

I've got a .well-known/nostr.json file inside my public_html folder at my domain host. The nPub has been converted to HEX format using damus.io/key. The "name" I am using in the json file is GANDALF and then I am inputting gandalf@btcgandalf.com in the NIP-05 identifier field in my nostr profile.

I have followed the instructions to enable CORS by creating a .htaccess file.

But still no verification.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Interesting. I don’t see it in Damus. Would relays affect this?

I've no idea. Do you know if my "name" field has to match my NOSTR username? I think I've tried doing "BTCGandalf": "hex npub" as well with no luck.

I was under the impression that the json file name would dictate what my "verified" name would be.

I don’t know enough about how nip05 works beyond what others have already replied. Maybe the nostrplebs master himself #[3] has some insight? 😁

You only need to add the hex, not the npub.

Check out gigi's json: https://dergigi.com/.well-known/nostr.json
