I now have a verified name linked to my domain name, so that I can now

be identified by henry@bblfish.net. As I understand this would help

in case I loose control of my keys somehow.

I followed the instructions here

https://nostr.how/en/guides/get-verified

It was actually quite easy, as I just need to add this file to

my web server

https://bblfish.net/.well-known/nostr.json

The result on #primal looks like this:

How should people refer to me using the NIP-05 address?

- @henry@bblfish.net

- henry@bblfish.net

henry@bblfish.net

nostr:note17at893dj9g2ljpfdfsrz67vnslg2am5fhcqq6662l7lve0r8zuyq7fyg94

your henry@bblfish.net does not create a link in #Damus or #primal #nostrclient .

In fact, if I click on one of my links earlier in this thread using the Damus client, it opens my Apple mail reader. My guess is that the convention should be for email to use

nostr:henry@bblfish.net

or perhaps in the end even did:key?

NIP-05 is used in kind 0 event (metadata), and needed for verification and search. For example you can be sure that https://snort.social/p/_@p.adre.su it's me.

Yay! A nostr rabbit hole on a Saturday! I'm on it! Thank you.

Hi all #nostrclient

As explained in the post below I now have a NIP-05 compliant address. But how do I link to it in a post? should I use the henry@bblfish.net name? (It does not seem to work on #primal) or is it some other string?

Why link to it in a post? When you write a note, the note is linked to your account and the account is linked to your NIP-5 address already.

Mhh, let me see nostr:npub15mvl5c2z72qgluhcl3t8n94fg2q9z5c0nh5gq8z4nd536z4az8ns9e8449 .

where does nostr:npub1m0wym3srryqtkt9uuev43arglv4083p9redzep85ayurv53xsmas9nn0rv link to?

Did it. But now I (and you) have red exclamation points in our verifications on Amethyst. Any ideas why?

The pubkeys should be in hex format, not npub. It looks like some clients are gracefully handling it, but you may experience issues with some clients.

If you set up your key as _@bblfish.net then you could appear as just bblfish.net (since no one else uses your domain)
