NIP-39: External Identities in Profiles

Nostr protocol users may have other online identities such as usernames, profile pages, keypairs etc. they control and they may want to include this data in their profile metadata so clients can parse, validate and display this information.

This is the only true verification that we have.

IMO, more Nostr clients should support displaying NIP-39 on profile pages. At this time I believe it's only Amethyst that supports this NIP. This NIP is almost 2 months old and hasn't gained a lot of support. Why? Which other services should be added to this NIP? Keybase seems like an easy addition. Others?

Interesting. How would I add nip-39 data to my profile? What other data is supported?

Must do more research 🤔

As you can see from my profile, I have GitHub and Twitter linked. This essentially proves that I am the person that has that Twitter account and that GitHub account.

Niiiice.

I see Twitter, Github and Mastadon in settings. I guess I could link them. But I also Telegram is supported by the nip, but not an option in Amethyst 🤔

You're right. Hmm. nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z why isn't Telegram supported?
