What's the point of having a NIP-05/ Nostr address??

It's not like people can search you 🤔

It's pointless for most people except for like jack or big dog devs who have lots of impersonators.

I think it's totally confusing and pointless to have newbies try to figure this out tho. It should be more an an advanced and slightly hidden feature on sign up imo

Agreed. If you're telling noobs that they need to input their Nostr address, you have to tell them what the pointless hoo ha is all about. Jack doesn't even have a NIP-05

At this point …. it’s like a gang sign hahaha

It's also a really annoying and fiddly step and even worse, there are lots of paid nip05s. So you could have scenarios where people think they need to pay to be here.

Charging for a line in a json file is a bit annoying.

You know he's jack because he's got an @primal.net LN address

You can put anyone's address into your lnurl field tho, tbf

You're not helping 😂😂

Ideally, he should put jack@primal.net in his NIP-05

Chris Wharton 1y ago

You can. However it will not be verified because it will not match your public key.

retired npub 1y ago

lnurls are not verified. She's right, you can stick anyone's NIP-57 in your lnurl

Correct, I misread the message.
