Nostr Address πŸ€™

would you able to receive emails with only your handle? same goes with receiving zaps?

handles would look cleaner, addresses seem to have additional use cases

for example, with tanel@frogtalk.lol nip-05, fishcake set it up as an address that i can set it as my tipping address when somebody zaps me, which will forward the funds to my actual wallet address

question ab this bc i see you still have tanel@wos.com as your ln tip address in your bio, why is that?

and tanel@nostrplebs as nip05

it’s bc i have it changed to that for like a month or so.

i can change it to @frogtalk.lol for both and try it out

aah that makes sense then

try now πŸ’œ

incredible still how fast

yup, exactly. you can keep everything on brand like that πŸ’œ

main reason why i think nostr addresses > handles for now.

handles do look cleaner tho

received πŸ’œ

Oh I like this, email built on top of nostr πŸŒ‹

Nostr identity?

Kinda like the point Tanel made

Nostr Pub

🍻

Wait I am little confused.

NIP-05 should be called Nostr Address

Username is useless in my opinion and should be removed.

Pubkey should be mainly for tech stuff or extreme cases.

Display name for mention.

Agree, in the same way we have LNURL and Lightning Address.

We can even use our Nostr address (NIP-05) as an email address and receive emails in our nostr DM and so many other things. We should normalise it.

Do we want to now though? All of your email would be essentially public

I wouldn't recommend using a Nostr address as a primary email. πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

I use it sometimes tho, there are also other use cases like turning it into lightning address. It's very easy to integrate outside and less cryptic.

Display name -> Name?

Yeah!

Remove the username, it doesn't serve any purpose.

Agreed

It don't matter.
