They said it was impossible! But, as of today we have de-facto solved a long-standing problem in computer science. And that is of decentralized global naming, that is human readable, and fair.

1. Register a name on the bitcoin block chain, on a first-come, first-served basis

2. Name is in an OP_RETURN and human readable

3. That name has an npub associated with it.

4. The npub publishes the name to nostr relays, and also has a pubky

5. The name is globally resolvable using pubky protocol, and has bittorrent level censorship resistance

A truly censorship-resistant, human-readable, naming system that includes decentralized DNS. Quite an achievment!

Is a pubkey the same as an nsec? Not sure I understand how npub (which I thought was Nostr Public Key) differs from pubkey.

Pubky - no "e"

So npub and pubky are essentially the same thing?

They have a lot of similarities but they're different.
