The worst part about nostr is the npub
Why don't we normalize NIP05 sharing instead of npub sharing?
It's so much easier!
Discussion
I like this idea.
Educational purpose maybe? So new users make sure to back up their nsec?
Ya let me be clear, npubs are super important. I just mean the sharing of npubs is pretty bunk
People just like sharing their npubs for some reason. It’s fine for sharing on other socials, but I usually post njump links. Cause then people can just click it and then choose to hop into whatever Nostr client they want. No need for any copy pasta.

services like nostrplebs can verify npubs allowing you to share a link:

although arguably still cumbersome
No that is way better than having to copy/segregate/paste from a post on external site

Fuck a nip05
Why?
They mean nothing
They're not supposed to mean anything.
They're supposed to be an easy way to identify an npub
Think payment address vs LNURL.
I give my payment address out verbally and via post 100% of the time - never copy/paste LNURL
npub is direct and never changes, nip05 can change whenever
Feature, not a bug.
As long as it relates back to the npub, it's good.
It's meant for simplicity of sharing a profile. Nothing more. And it acts perfectly.
I would prefer to register with my phone number so that my contacts can find me better
Phones are too easy to steal and insecure.
Having your phone associated to your npub would actually make them way safer. But npub would need to dictate sim, not the other way around.
