May I kindly ask for guidance on verification process? Should I opt for a custom domain for verification purposes, or would it be more advisable to utilize a dedicated service such as Nostr-Verified? Your insights would be greatly appreciated. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

Custom is more credible imo. Though to be honest I don't really think the NIP 05 verification is worth all that much.

I don't know if you noticed but Jack doesn't even have one šŸ˜‚

Yes, I noticed. He was using cash.app for NIP 05 verification before. Edward Snowden is using nostr-check.com

One thing to keep in mind is that it’s not verification. In damus we call it your ā€œnostr addressā€ now. It’s just a way to create an email-like identifier for your pubkey. Choose the one that you like the most. Custom domains are much better of course, but anyone could create a custom domain that includes your name, so we try not to call it verification anymore.

For real name / real ID…

Get a domain, get an SSL certificate from a widely recognised certification authority.

Put the NIP-05 identifier nostr.JSON at the domain.

Point your client at your nostr.JSON identifier URL.

Other solutions are available.

There are choices to make regarding privacy, anonymity, imposters, etc. You can’t have your cake and eat it.
