 What’s the best way to get my profile verified so that people can see that this is the real Robin? 

How does that Work on NOSTR? 

(Sorry for my Beginner questions) 
 @paulinthejungle he’s happy to help! 🙏 
 Would love to get help here? 
 Easiest way is to pay a little to a known and respected verification service, such as Derek Ross's  nostrplebs.com or nostrcheck.me or zaps.lol 

The best way is to host your own Nostr verification on a domain that you own. So say you own SeyrBitcoin.com, then you could run a Nostr verifier that says Robyn@SeyrBitcoin.com is legit and linked to your npub. 
 I've been wondering this same thing all along but didn't even know how to ask.  Thanks for asking a beginner question for all of us! 😃🧡 
 https://nostr.directory was a good way a while back.  Not sure if it still is- it's been a while since I used it.

At the bare minimum, put your npub somewhere easily verifiable on your website.  If you want to use a nostr icon you can find some at https://github.com/satscoffee/nostr_icons from npub1a6zkqnuwcmjwynuw4u4xyngy9675x8dwgj87z9me4h8mdwmc2a0q8mvhjk

 I’d that even a thing here? 😅 
 For me important as there are even here scammers. I already so today in my personal Inbox a Jack Dorsey scammer. It’s a thing here, and important that we combat 
 There is definitely less of it here, but i think that’s just because we’re too small and too educated for now for scammers to bother. They’ll come in the next few years with the common folk 😮‍💨

I suppose some kind of deposit would vastly reduce the likelihood of scammers being wide spread. I dunno. 

Maybe 69 sats per post to go towards something useful would kill spam 🤔

Not the easiest but the best option would be hosting your own if you have a web-server with your own domain. 
 I, personally, found the own domain route easier than the provided options for getting a free nostr account. 
 I did it via nostrplebs.com more than a year ago just for never used it  all since then. 🤷‍♂️
