#[0] got me thinking that I have called the purple check marks a verification before, but he’s right that it’s more of an identification, a human readable version of your pub key. I updated my guide with that in mind

“Friendly name” might be an even better term

#plebname even better.

“What is your plebname?”

The way of the pleb is nameless. But in death a pleb does have a name. This plebs' name was Robert Paulsen.

Thank you. You're now within spec, too. The spec does not mention verification at all. The spec ONLY mentions that NIP-05 is an identifier.

I believe I coined the phrase "human readable identifier for your public key".
