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! 🙏
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.
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 p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
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 🤔
https://nostr.how/en/guides/get-verified 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. 🤷♂️
