Replying to Avatar Repeatedly nuked profile

Ah fantastic! Not often you need something and exactly that thing exists.

On that topic (and while I've got your useful brain) some clients like Primal force you to have a Nostr username (the @one, not the display name) that contains no spaces. It won't let you save a profile update if you add a space to the username.

Other clients like Damus allow spaces. And you can quasi-hack Primal by adding a space in to the username in Damus and then coming back to Primal—the one with the space will have been updated in Primal.

Is there any sort of convention evolving there? Space, no space?

The "name" field in a profile can absolutely contains spaces, in fact you can use it for your full name.

I don't know why Primal impose this limit, perhaps it's something related to the fact that they also sell NIP-05 addresses, and these have to be unique, so they are forcing the relation name-address.
