Subnostr

#asknostr

If you were to use a nostr email alias service, would you be fine by getting alias emails like:

I am thinking about making the random word a bit smarter to fit the alias name if possible.

Do you see any pitfalls of this strategy?

Personally, I would prefer @. I could foresee people creating dozens of addresses, until they got an acceptable random word.

Wouldn't that get easily into spamming? I generate an alias, see the number, then start to spam the others.

Perhaps, but for me to want to use this, the address has to be short and memorable enough for me to be able to remember it and give to someone else verbally with a reasonable expectation that they'll remember it. AAron7@Crustymail.com checks that box but AAron.banister@Crustymail.com doesn't.

Hmmm, and how do you solve this now?

Is it still an alias?

A.A.Ron 1y ago

No it's my real name.

So you would be interested in this project to have a simple nostr mailbox basically, where you can create a nice email address, and can share it with anyone, but your emails would be stored encrypted over nostr.

Totally, that sounds like a service worth $9/month.
