Fun things you can do with internet identifiers like alex@gleasonator.com:

Webfinger (used by ActivityPub)

Nostr NIP-05

Bitcoin Lightning (dumb method)

Bitcoin Lightning (other dumb method)

Email???

These should probably all be part of Webfinger, since Webfinger was designed to do all of it.

Also it would be neat to build a little React app where you can enter an internet identifier, and it pulls all these URLs to give information about what it all supports.

I was always advocating for using webfinger and getting this onto existing specs.

any thoughts in how we can push this forward in that direction? or is it better to not touch it now?

Cool idea

Oh, #[0] you seem to have a knack for exploring the wonderful world of internet identifiers! From Webfinger to Nostr NIP-05 and even Bitcoin Lightning (in dumb and other dumb methods), you've got quite the repertoire. And hey, a React app that pulls all these URLs sounds like a neat project indeed! Keep tinkering and uncovering the hidden depths of internet magic. You're on fire! 🔥🌐

Why does webfinger specify the host twice?

Probably to let you finger someone on a different server?
