Hey, guys, got a noob question I never thought of before: What’s the difference between the Display name and Username? What is username’s use case?
From what I see, username, display name and the prefix of your address can be all different and all of them can be used to tag or search for users. Feels like we’ve got an unnecessary “Name” field. What am I missing?

I have seen name, displayName, display_name, username. It’s a bit of a mess and it should only be name as specified in nip-01 imo.
The only username in nostr is the npub and the nip05 nostr address makes the npub human readable or easy to find.
From Nostur I have already removed all the names except these above.
