β€œShowing just the domain as an identifier

Clients may treat the identifier _@domain as the "root" identifier, and choose to display it as just the . For example, if Bob owns bob.com, he may not want an identifier like bob@bob.com as that is redundant. Instead, Bob can use the identifier _@bob.com and expect Nostr clients to show and treat that as just bob.com for all purposes.”

What would you add to your nostr.json if you put _@orangepill.dev as your verification?

I think the underscore handle in β€œ_@orangepill.dev” is currently being treated as a @name of the NIP05 identifier by clients. I mean you could have a username as @bobross in your profile and a NIP identifier as _@orangepill.dev but that β€œ_” is treated as a NIP05 name in the Nostr.json file.

So I added that to my Nostr.json and created a new pubkey/user to test. See this user:

I added β€œ_”: β€œhexpubkey”

Btw damus doesn't display underscores so you'll not see the in my above response. So, I'm pasting a screenshot from astra ninja
