NIP-05 prove that you own a domain or are part of a group hosted on the domain, that's all.

Owning a domain is connected to a indentity, so you can prove it.

Join a "shared domain" is useful to prove you are not a bot, so you can be whitelisted by a relay that uses this anti-spam policy.

So it doesn't really 'prove' anything at all right, except that 'someone' with said name created a NIP-05 verification at that domain?

You have to own the domain to create a NIP-05 verification on it, so for example if you are sure that fiatjaf.com owner is the real Fiatjaf (it is!) and his account is NIP-05 verified on this domain, you can infer that the nostr #[3] account is legitimate.

This works well for people well known or related to a business.

you need to have access to the domain, so you can enter data (a small json file).

OR you can register at a domain that does this for you. Like I did by registering at getalby.

Look at the video (Step by step guide video for #nostr starters)

Thanks! Not sure why but the vid link isn't live and can't be copied separately from the rest of your post. I can do it manually, just curious why the link isn't live?
