What's stopping you from self hosting your nip05?

Only benefit in using your personal domain for a Nip-05 address is if you're a celebrity and want to proof your identify. Example, there is a Michael Sailor Nostr profile, just copying tweets, even earnings zaps for that! I would expect a microstrategy Nip-05 and lightning address, otherwise I consider the profile a fake.

But, why a simple pleb need that? Convince me why I should still do it πŸ€™

I guess I'm a celebrity lol. I'm a regular ass pleb just like you.

1. It's gangsta AF

2. To gain understanding

Because you have control over the domain, and the nostr.json file, that the nip(s) point to the correct pubkey.

Ie. You are not getting rugged.

When using nostrplebs, or nostrverified if the domain or server goes down you're fucked.

They can also change what npub "your" nip points to.
