GM. Somewhat surprised that there is active pushback against NIP-05 verification
"Bots and scammers can get around it though!!!"
Duh, but it's still a hurdle to jump over that most bots and scammers won't bother doing. Down the line there can be a different PoW method that they have to jump through.
Not sure why this is hard to understand or why the pushback to even the first example of verification
It's still a hurdle that bots or scammers have to cross. NIP-05 takes care of 80% of the issues.
Down the line, there will be any number of *optional* hurdles people go through to prove probability wise they are not a bot, scammer, whatever that other people want
Fuck it, trying this on Nostr.

Unfortunately, they don’t fit my hobbit feet and as a result I haven’t worn them enough to justify keeping them. I didn’t want to have to sell these, but I’m hoping they can find a home where they’ll get the use they’re meant for.

I have dozens of successful sales on the GunAccessoriesForSale subreddit and a handful on the GearTrade sub as well. Can provide proof as needed.
Photos below including proof shot with my name and date shown. Happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos.

Hey homie you seem real but make sure to get a NIP-05 verification filled in soon. It'll make your account more legit. A lot of people, including myself, tend to be hesitant to interact with non 'verified' Nostr users because of the bot situation
Better yet, 21% premium for paying in fiat.
Punish the people that pay on toilet paper
Things made much more sense for me when I realized the majority of people want to stay poor and/or have their wealth lose purchasing power over time as long at they are doing whatever everyone else is doing
For poors, it's gucci DoorDash and car notes. For midwit fintwit, it's index fund investing. Two sides of the same fiat coin
Influencooors disguised as hardcore bitcoiners
Casual $4-5k build right there.
OPs will say "sHoUlD hAvE bOuGhT bItCoIn iNsTeAd"
Excellent use of coin 🫡

Agreed. And I would want all of this user controlled. A simple checkbox in this case
It's cheap to setup, but still a hurdle regardless.
It's lame to see bots and reply guys on here
That's good to know. I would think this would be a pretty simple implementation to have a setting where if an npub doesn't have a nip-05 address filled in, I want it muted
It's literally a NIP-05 address being filled in or not. IDK why this is so controversial
I don't want to see anything from npubs with no NIP-05 filled in:

Jack, Welcome to #Nostr !

Suggestion to find whom to follow:
Follow topics using hastags, click on this hashtag: #_rockclimbing, and you will have the option to follow it if using the right mobile or web browser client. A good one to follow is #_introductions and #_askNostr (remove the space after the hastag, I added a space to avoid spamming the community)
Suggestion for Nostr Clients:
If on Android:
nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt is an excellent choice, feature rich, supports privacy, tiktok like feeds, multi user, supports #Amber (more security), #TOR, private chats, excellent look and feel, it is ahead of most clients by far.
nostr:nprofile1qqs9ajjs5p904ml92evlkayppdpx2n3zdrq6ejnw2wqphxrzmd62swspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309aukzcn49ekk2qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8x6tpd4ehgu3wvdhk6ynf30t is a good alternative, more like Telegram, including chat groups, channels and voice and video calls, all encrypted e2e. It is powerful with privacy as well, it has secret chats and it supports Amber, #TOR in the settings "Use SOCKS proxy" (just install Orbot and in the settings be sure it allows background starts you don't need to have it running as VPN). It has a wallet built in and interesting features of its own.
Suggestion for Wallets:
Depends on your technical level and how much time are you willing to spend understanding and setting them up:
1. The impatient with no time to waste and who doesn't care to use custodial wallets:
Go for Wallet of Satoshi (https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/), add it to your profile, it doesn't have the NWC (network wallet connect) setup, but you really don't need it. When you try to zap someone, the wallet will open and the invoice will load, easy and setup free. You are set. (they don't work in USA, unless you use a VPN)
You may try as well https://coinos.io nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev , rich with features and web based, you can receive emails every time you are zapped too. Very cool wallet, the dev team rocks, they are doing the good work creating more Bitcoin awareness and helping businesses to accept it. It does support ecash and recently started to support #Bolt12, just missing #Amber support to be my favorite (it would make it optional to be non custodial)
2. The curious one with not much technical expertise but eager to learn:
You have few options here to play that are interesting:
2.1. nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkjmnfvf5hguewvdshx6p07xr4s5 (mobile app, you can buy from them your own address like yourname@minibits.cash BOLT11), the app is well polished, user friendly and the devs are hands on, responsive and active in the #Nostr community.
2.2. nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev , they support #eCash, #Bolt11 and #Bolt12, so you can play here, just beware, you are signing with your own nsec, so for testing, make a new account and play around, that until they support Amber or a similar way to sign in, can't wait.
2.3 nostr:nprofile1qqsxn2q9vlnek6umcu5z44v42yklpwqy0prpd0kmvg7pytadgg9zvdgeldk34 (eNuts Beta, mobile app, the app is clean and with cool themes, has a message tab, for you to check your private messages, supports #LN and #Cashu, no #Bolt11 support, it is beta, don't play with more than you are willing to lose)
Two good options to play and learn, all support #Cashu and #LN⚡, start learning about #Cashu, IMO a game changer for small payments. Sovereign app offers novelty features I consider a must have, wait until you learn about CLANs and the way sovereign does the recoveries, mind blowing...
3. The tech savvy
3.1 GetAlby running AlbyHub (a bit pricey unless you do all yourself, not my cup of tea, but people in the community loves them)
3.2 npub.cash - get your npub followed by @npub.cash and use it as your wallet address to receive anonymous private #LN payments and #cashu payments. You can pay in the wallet web site for a custom address as well (cool)
3.3 nuts.cash - same as above, just not an option to buy an address, meaning no #Bolt11 support

You can get your own, give it a try, start writing!

Enjoy Nostr!
Welcome!!
Can't tell if /s or not but fr, I am all on board with maxing out sun and lifts while barefoot but at soon as these people are talking about yoga, sPiRiTuAlItY, and banging Mother Nature, I'm out.
They need God, not these false idols they are pumping out
Ignore the OPs WR. Do your thang and spend that coin how you see fit 🫡
Would you recommend this for people that live above the 38th parallel? Being that throughout 1/3 - 1/2 of the year we can't get any vit D from the sun?
Doing only fruit/honey till noon sounds great to do in spring and summer and early fall but not great when it's 30 degrees out lol
