Problem: Addressing the NIP-05 and lnaddress Dilemma on Morning Crypto

Ever noticed how first-timers get mixed up with lnaddress and NIP-05? It’s not just them; there's a genuine UX issue.

🔍 Quick Recap:

On my show, Morning Crypto, I've been promoting the Lightning Network by giving away satoshis daily. Viewers can either quickly scan a QR code, whitelist themselves, or register their lnaddress. Since 2021, this has been the first touchpoint with real Bitcoin for a few thousands.

I also give away hardware wallets, encouraging self-custody. I’ve given out 16 to date!

Viewers earn "blokitos" (our show’s points) as they watch. These can be exchanged for more giveaway entries and, very recently, converted to satoshis via zaps, through a bot I created to promote Nostr.

🔥 The Mix-Up:

When viewers withdraw their blokitos for satoshis, they will receive it through zaps, and it is creating some confusion. Some use their npub correctly, but many use their ln address instead of their NIP-05. And now, they're registering NIP-05 for sats giveaways!

🤖 The bot does flag the mistake, but with the growing number of viewers getting their Nostr NIP-05, the confusion intensifies.

Somehow we need to refine this process. For the average viewer, the difference between the two is blurry.
