So you mean I’m not getting my 10 coins in return of 0.1 btc? 

 So you’re not going to send double the Bitcoin back? JK 🙏❤️⚡️🤙 

 God damnit, guess I'm not getting those 2 BTC afterall 

 thought it was your aldenate account

yeah, i’ll see myself out 

 Send me your 12 seed words and I’ll send you 24 back. 

 Congratulations and welcome to the club! 🥳🙌 

 i thought you cared 😢 

 Pshh you should have had impersonators a long time ago 

 Can you shoot me an example or two?

I want to look at whether the solution I’ve proposed in the past that would solve this on Twitter would work for NIP-05 (and possibly have a shot at being adopted ) 

 Have you considered changing your nip05 to leverage your lynalden.com domain? As a widely known persona in the space its important to avoid ambiguity with services tied to centralized/compromised venues likr Twitter. 

 But if an impersonator asks about my trades. I’ll be sure to say it going horrible and ask them for bitcoin to help out, assuring them a 2x return. 

 As a heads up, if you send me one bitcoin I’ll send you two back in 30 days 

 My trades are going fine, thanks for asking Lyn. 

 Imagine running an Indian bot farm thinking you've finally cracked an untapped honey pot only to realize it's filled with cyber hornets who dgaf 😂 

 That's a fact!   

 Trades? 

 Is there any solution this impersonation issues?  

 I don't really get how impersonation works here. I see a little shield or check mark on each avatar that I follow. I guess if someone had heard of you but not followed? Inconceivable! 

 Congratulations! Nostr needs a paywall for DMs. 

 My trades are going very well cause I don’t trade.

Thank you for asking.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 Even I have 1 Lyn (nice flex to have multiple impersonators though 😉).

I figure that it's very hard for them to get visibility since there are no algorithms. I just block them & moved on.

It costs nothing to generate a new npub & clone someone's profile. It's also fairly useless when nostr people rely on a web of trust. 

 Do you not care about my trades?!? 

 😔I thought you were genuinely interested  

 It’s like you don’t even care… :( 

 Dang it... I was getting all excited...

 How are your trades going?  

 As for me, quite well!  

 Know you’ve truely made when you have nostr impersonators. 👍😎✅ 

 I'm just replying to see what happens. Every time I reply in nostr I get at least one aordop.  

 Thx Lyn.

 This is why I still have a PGP key honestly. Very good for verification of identity without doxxing.

If you open Kleopatra or any PGP client and search xanny@nostrplebs.com you'll find my key.

If you save it somewhere, then at any point if you think something feels shady you can check I'm the real me by simply asking for a signed message, because the real me can always sign a message with my PGP key. No one else can unless they track me down irl and steal my Yubikeys.

 NIP-05 with lynalden.com domain name is the proper solution for this. 

 these impersonators are forgetting i have no trades 

 How can we recognize you?
