Nostr Web Client

Great article!

One thing I have found quite limiting about NIP-05 is that it only allows you to have one "association" at a time. I have dikaios1517@nostrplebs.com. I proudly keep it, because I have been with them since just after the service went live. Yet... I have a lot of other groups I am associated with, that I must forego them being able to confirm that association if I want to stay with nostrplebs.

I don't see any reason why this must be the case. If I want to continue to rep nostrplebs, but also have my church's domain confirm that my npub is associated with my church, or my employer's domain confirm that my npub is associated with them, or Sovereign Craft confirm my npub is the same Dikaios1517 they see on the server there, all of them should be able to do so, without having to trade one out for the other in my kind 0.

Maybe there should be a primary NIP-05, and then a comma separated field in the kind 0 with alternative NIP-05s that also point to your npub for those other associations?

I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have more than one NIP-05 on the profile. That happens in practice quite often. I don’t know if it should be on kind 0 — it’s abused quite heavily by developers adding whatever they want on it. Maybe it should be a new kind.

Right? I have a few NIP-05s I COULD switch to at any time. But I can only be looked up by one of them at a time? Seems clients should be able to request from the domain whether I have that particular NIP-05 "active" or not, and it should still return my npub.

The aspect of me confirming, by signing a Nostr event, that I am in fact associated with that domain is important, though. So maybe a list kind of some sort?
