Nostr Web Client

#[6] #[7] I'm still not getting it. What problem is NIP-05 trying to solve? What problem happens when more-speech sends out the user's meta-data? In what sense is that message "nuking" anything? Isn't it the client's responsibility to interpret the message and integrate it with any other variables? Are there clients that use other parameters in the profile beside the NIP-01 metadata parameters (name, about, picture)?

Yes damus has 1 additional field in the profile: display_name which is meant to be used like a full name:

display_name: William Casarin

name: jb55

but yeah I don't see what nip05 has anything to do with this, other than branle which uses nip05 like a display name I guess?

Does damus transmit the `display_name` in the kind 0 metadata? And when does damus send metadata?

Only on account creation, it can't edit profiles yet
