Oddbean new post about login | logout Your NIP05 disrespector thing has become a little confusing now with all the impersonation bots who come up as a red dot. I actually just assumed this was a spam attack lol. Just pointing this out. Maybe you're aware and don't care tho. :)
https://media.tenor.com/cXm91BEqkEwAAAAC/duh-thats-the-whole-point.gif Very aware.
I assumed it was on purpose, just checking lol. I've already slightly adjusted to the new spam by not reading anything with a red dot lol. But I did a double take on this:)
Paying for Relays > Paying for NIP-05 providers
Well, to be fair, I got my NIP-05 from my relay and @cloud fodder is gonna make that a thing.
I do wonder if nip05 has actually now found a usecase lol. Maybe it would be an extra annoying step for a spam attack, at the very least. You could filter the entire feed to people with working nip05 fields? 🤔 Or maybe that is annoying and pointless lol I don't know:)
I have a use case for them, but it's a secret.
Time, money and energy that goes into NIP-05 is not being spent on Relays. This is true during: - the onboarding of new users - use of an app that is constantly verifying DNS stuff in the background Users need Relays anyway and they literally make most "problems" addendums like NIP-05 pretend to fix complete non-issues.
When I first joined I really struggled to get a nip05, it seemed to be required to be 'found' / 'visible'. I'm not very tech savvy so it was quite annoying. It was even more annoying when I found out I neednt have bothered at all lol
Spending that time on setting up a lightning address would probably have been better spent, so I can zap you 😜 . Although #cashu might make that unnecessary too hehe.
Absolutely. There are a few nip05 options tho. You also don't even need to fill that field. Free the NIP! zaps.lol is one option I believe (it's also good for a free customisation of a lightning address) You can request one from ditto.pub (I'm not saying you should do this btw, I'm just replying in case someone seems this and finds it useful)
