all accounts are fake unless NIP05d or otherwise attested
Discussion
Having NIP-05 is overvalued.
It doesn't mean anything per-se and it could be even confusing.

true but need some proof if someone is putting an existing identity on nostr. Would be very easy scam to make fake account and ask for donations nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as 🤨
NIP-05 is useful for business and similar already established online identities based on DNS names that want to sign their "official" npub.
But for the rest of us, if we want two link different social profiles, the way is to cross-posting in all of them, imo.
Thinking that npubs with some NIP-05 alias are some kind of "verified identities" is very dangerous.
