hmm interesting.

on key rotation - i'm guessing if they wanted to trash the old key, maybe they wanted to trash all information and content related to that identity, including the nip-05 identifier ? are there other reasons why someone will get rid of all related to the old key, but keep the identifier?

what would help though is to carry forward your identity to a diff npub/nsec. Say for example, for whatever reason I have to clear off all connections to my nostr accounts - and i cant keep the nsec written anywhere if my laptop is compromised. In that case, it will be hard to login back to my nostr account because nsec is not easy to memorise. But with an nip-05, it can be a security later to access your account. But i guess it has to be a private thing or maybe an in-built private security. then again, whatever that has access can be compromised. tough world!

interesting. i no longer see it on primal and iris, visible on coracle.

seems like a per-requisite on coracle for nip-05 to verify npub. Is nip-05 mandatory nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn?

is the implementation of nip-05 consistent or interchangeable on clients, @`fiatjaf`? I also recall you mentioned something sometime back about how a customised web address (which syncs with nip-05 name) messes up with nostr protocols but i didn't quite get what you meant

Ahh, No 3 makes sense. Would be good for businesses addresses I guess.

For No 1, how does work ? I see this address on iris, but on primal and coracle its the npub. Is it client interchangeable ?

For No 2, what does it mean by troubles of key rotation. What is key rotation ?

wow, great write up. You wrote all of the content? Can you repurpose this for FAQs as well <3

From this, it seems like there is very minimal use to NIP-05. If it was for function verifier, then it makes sense but since its no longer for that, it doesn't seem seem special or attractive, and might just be confusing. Users would key in name /topic in search functions not nip-05.

I can't seem to delete mine though. Tried to delete on primal and coracle and but it keeps coming back lol

ahh i thought so too. What purpose does it still serve for profile ?

Are nip-05 still needed? Seems like it doesn't work for spams anyway. Can it be removed ?

The American Indians lost everything. US is their rightful land. For centuries they were oppressed, tormented, raped, murdered, chased away from their homeland, robbed, turned to slaves, brought down to their knees in desperation. Today they have reserve lands today but they cant chop trees, hunt, farm freely in accordance to their culture. Many tribes were forever gone. US did not "collaborate" with the American Natives or "provide" for them. They killed most of them.

There will never be peace between Israel and Palestine - this war started from Biblical time over the Holy land. Just like there will never be peace between Russia and Ukraine because of that shared port / only pathway. The best one can do is keep everyone calm and find ways to work together. Clinton's Camp David may have been the closest to bridge this but he was taken down. JFK advocated global calmness but he was killed.

Another way of seeing this, the US trillion dollar military industry has too high supply and not enough demand. That and some of the richest political backers in the US are for Israel - most obv in the business world is US venture funds allocation for US and Israel only. Also, something is always bound to happen nearing election - same like Covid-19 right ?

“Things cannot be forced from the top. The international relinquishing of sovereignty would have to spring from the people—it would have to be so strong that the elected delegates would be turned out of office if they failed to do it . . . War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.” JFK

Reading The Pirates of Panama; The Buccaneers of America by Alexandre Exquemelin. The author was a pirate until 1672 and writes his experience first hand, one of the few rare books with direct exposure. At one part he talks about how they would decide together on how much they would split before - starting with the captain, the carpenter, surgeon, common stock allocation on food and medical supplies, and split equally for the rest. Those who lose limbs or impacted health wise will be compensated (amount discussed before hand). Everybody gets a say. The book also talks about how civil and helpful they are towards each other. Way more democracy going on there compared to governments these days.

some call it paradigm shift. some call it conspiracy theory

The oil crisis is an under-talked about factor in the general trajectory of inflation, the automotive industry, and even urban development in the US. It’s underplayed just how much the OPEC bloc reshaped the economics of the 80s and beyond. The profound economic consequences of the Oil Crisis rippled across sectors and daily life. The sharp rise in oil prices introduced pervasive inflationary pressures that directly impacted heating, transportation, and production costs. This not only contributed to global economic downturns but also significantly altered trade dynamics, exacerbating trade deficits and leading to greater foreign debt for many oil-importing nations.

In the automotive realm, there was a marked shift in consumer preferences towards fuel efficiency. This trend, in turn, opened the door for Japanese automakers like Toyota and Honda, known for their compact and fuel-efficient cars, to secure significant market shares in the US. The crisis also catalyzed the introduction of stricter emissions and mileage standards, pushing automakers towards technological innovations.

Urban development too felt the ripple effects. The burgeoning cost of gasoline posed challenges to the rapid suburban expansion witnessed in the post-WWII era. Commuters began to reconsider the feasibility of long drives to work, leading to a renewed interest in public transit as an energy-efficient alternative. Furthermore, the increased costs associated with heating homes drove a push for better insulation and overall energy efficiency in construction.

The way some portray the "petrodollar" system, suggesting that it's predominantly a golden ticket for the United States, really misses the mark. Yes, the pricing of oil in dollars does generate a certain demand for the USD. However, to suggest this has been a unilateral boon for the U.S. while ignoring the significant windfalls OPEC nations have enjoyed, is a bit naive.

Let's break it down. OPEC nations, via this arrangement, have not just stacked up substantial revenues but have transformed their economies, cities, and geopolitical positions. Just look at the vast sovereign wealth funds they've built over the years, all driven by petrodollar influx. These funds don't just sit idly – they're active, global investors and have a significant say in global financial markets.

Furthermore, this dollar-for-oil setup also inadvertently ties America's hands to the fortunes and stability of oil-exporting nations. It's a double-edged sword. On one hand, yes, there's a demand for dollars. On the other, it places the U.S. in the midst of geopolitical quagmires and demands a continued diplomatic, and sometimes military, engagement in often unpredictable regions.

great thought structure. I would also add that the '70s currency unpeg directly impacted international trade yielding to trade deficits, which was a surplus all along before that.

This deficit never recovered and started a domino effect of business shutting down, economy contracting and the rise of rust-belt cities. This paired with oil embargo and the Iranian revolution leading to steel crisis in the '80 impacting steel industries which were the soul of many states.

Porter's cluster effect was probably very true as collapse of surrounding businesses to this shaken up industry.

One way to overcome the lack of revenue through manufacturing collapse was the rise of service industry which further removed more incentives to manufacturing and increased outsourcing manufacturing overseas.

However, the return are not enough to overcome deficit, nor does it fulfill the needs of domestic trade yielding to higher imports.

Now with the rise of globalisation of industries, this also leads to exporting r&d out, and not giving the opportunity for Americans to expand innovations, which leads to a slow decline of domestic innovations and the ability to compete on a global scale.

So its probably a chain reaction that that started from there and yielded a lot of problems America is facing
