I just learned how to update my profile picture and you expect me to know what NIP-05 ID is?

Understandable! I’ve been on this thing a couple of weeks and just trying to keep up 😂

“What is NIP-05?

NIP-05 is a verification method for your Nostr account across all clients. Think of it as the blue checkmark on Twitter or Instagram, but instead of meeting Twitter and later Instagram’s requirements to be verified, you can simply do it yourself, and Nostr clients will respect it.”

This isn't entirely correct though. It's similar to a check mark because clients are displaying it that, but if you read the spec, it's not a verification. It's an identifier. It's an identity. The word verification is never used. It's confusing, because we are so used to verification on social networks.
