I know that the Michael Saylor with NostrVerified is the real Saylor, and it helps that he verified this on Twitter.

But what about the people who will be coming to nostr because their account was suspended on Twitter? I can spin up a saylor@NostrPlebs NIP-05 for a few thousand sats

Saylor talks about paying $8 for the blue checkmark, or paying $1000 for the gold on Twitter.

On nostr, he can get the hope.com checkmark, and someone would have to pay him a million dollars for his domain to impersonate him

I love NostrPlebs and what they’re doing, but these services are not a “verification”. NIP-05 is meant to be an identification to tie your account to a specific domain.

NostrPlebs gives you a checkmark, a searchable community, and adds friction (through sats) for the NIP-05 identification.

This is great to help verify you’re a human, but it’s akin to the $8 blue checkmark on Twitter.

Saylor wants the $1000 gold checkmark to verify he’s the real Saylor, because nobody would be willing to pay $1000 a month to scam people (unless they’re someone like Vitalik or SBF). He can have that through NIP-05 verification through his personal domain.
