Awesome. Glad to be of service!

I have control of a domain that I just use for email, but have no idea how to implement an NIP-05 ID on it. Derek, can you point me to some semi-noob instructions by any chance?

sorry i didn't see this until now, but i replied to your DM :)

no worries!

Same here! Thanks Derek āœŠšŸ»

You're welcome! Glad to be of service.

What does it mean?

a NIP-05 Identifier allows you to easily search for someone and recognize them. It's verification or like a pretty email address for your public key.

i followed the directions for setting it up but it fails, not sure what to do

Are duplicates possible still?

i'm not sure? but i won't be adding any duplicates to nostrplebs.com. each ID is unique.

nice

How did you do it? Any link you could share?

here’s a simple guide to NIP-05 IDs:

Or hit up #[2] and he’ll hook you up in exchange for some sats

i love sats! im also happy to help setting it up with wither your own service or nostrplebs.com. let me know!

So I’ve built an LNBits extension that sells users NIP-05 verification for a domain. Nostr-rs-relay lets you whitelist domains and only allow publishing events for nip-05 verified accounts under that domain. Try it out here: https://lnbits.fly.dev/nostrnip5/signup/P4ThL6wMxa6mLTu2enRxwz

Thanks for sharing, looking into it!

nostrplebs.com is so simple and easy.

Yes not too complicated.

My biggest problem was that I didn’t know the difference between the public key in npub and hex Format.

At first I was wondering why the nos2x Browser Plugin didn’t accept my npub Key.

But I found an explanation from @dergigi and the solution here:

https://gist.github.com/dergigi/1ee8dc7e3da4b6572ed785ab24bc9907

ā€œKeys exist in two formats, hex and the above mentioned npub/nsec. You can use this online tool to convert between the two formats: https://damus.io/key/ ā€œ

The rest was easy 😜

What is that, and how to get one?

Is that id necessary?
