Even if I did how would I know these names were the correct people? The keys have vanished. It's better to have the full profiles somewhere, or the keys and names together somehow, I don't know.

Also the fact that people have both name and display_name confuses the hell out of me, as well as a nip05 addresses.

You’d know by profile > copy npub > paste to draft.

You also know npubs confuse the hell out of everyone else unfamiliar with keypairs.

NIP05 is the best solution I see to date albeit it’s not used as standard, but you don’t like that either.

So what do you think is the solution to recognisable / human-readable identities?

Petnames? Maybe clients should allow you to rename your contacts to begin with. Some people have names that change all the time, it annoys me. And I know some people by names different from what they themselves write on their profile, so clients should allow me to rename them.

That’s a good point. I read that nip ages ago but no one has implemented it that I know of…

What is the NIP for this?

It’s part of NIP-02

For example, I would rather have you named "erskingardner".

"JeffG" feels odd.
