Hi! I’m just setting up my Nostr account.

Can somebody pls explain if the ticked symbol (in screenshot) means my account is verified?

Also, suggest me accounts, hashtags and relays that I should follow!

Yes, that ticked symbol does indicate verification. Seems like sometimes there’s text after it and sometimes there isn’t.

For example the first photo is using nostr:npub1n0delesspp5qyp9sd6d4fql9g3s96k7g4yyvfmpdncpp542wvxzqksp427 and the second is using bitcoinnostr.com

What verification provider are you using?

Got it, thanks :) I just applied for one, but wasn’t sure what this ticked symbol meant.

I believe the icon indicates something about following.

Also there’s no such thing as verification on nostr. I assume you’re talking about the nostr address (nip-05) handle which is used to ‘translate’ your pubkey into a human readable form. You can set it up yourself (if you own a domain), get one for free from someone else or even pay for it

That is not verification. It's more likely an indication you follow that account. I know you are not following yourself but it's like that for me as well so maybe a nostr feature/Bug.

You need to own a domain or use a third party service for a verification tick.

LOL 😂 a ‘following myself’ feature!

But, got it. Thanks :)
