 It is getting quite deceptive, too. I feel bad for new npubs right now.

 They can literally stop the spam right now by adding nip05-only mode on the relays.

 Yep, but maybe that’s not the best option

 No but filtering out NIP-05 impersonators would certainly help a lot.

 NIP-05 is not verification, it's just a way to stablish DNS aliases.

 No. NIP-05 can't be where the identity lies.

In #nostr the identity lies in the keypair (nsec+noun), not in the DNS alias.

That being said, clients can chose different strategies to signal suspicious npubs, true. And some of them could be related with failing NIP-05 aliases? Could be.
