Oddbean new post about login | logout nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug ,new to nostr and Amethyst, great work. Q, can you look at my nip05 value and see the a red error icon? I can see my id in there json file and shows verified in other apps but not here. Any ideas? Using verified-nostr.com I notice same icon on other accts using same domain. Also when using search and I put in a nip-05 value to find the user profile, does this app try and go directly to nip-05 json on the related domain to get user info? Doesn't seem so when I search this way for new accounts that have zero posted events. Thanks in advance for any insight.

I see a verified icon, not a red icon. 🤔 Maybe the website was still updating its records?
I'm using CalyxOS...maybe issue with OS not able to display that image correctly specific to this app? I can see the verified icon within Primal app on this phone but that's diff icon. I'll try on actual google OS phone to compare. See images below from this phone. https://image.nostr.build/a9f485ed6900834593d349e848660367504dc0b4359cae88e3a1e7fde52b2ce9.jpg
Are you using Tor or VPNs? I think the app is having difficulties accessing that server.
Yep, Orbit..
Do you know if the server replies inside Tor?
I think Cloudflare is blocking their Tor connection
Besides this acct, I'm actually also testing 2 other accounts today on domains I just setup on cloudfare myself and 1 gets verified in your app and the other doesn't which I also was scratching my head on
Not sure I understand you Q, but on my phone if I try to use Tor browser and go to the page URL of nostr.json file on all 3 domains I get a cloudfare 'are you a 'human' challenge
Yeah, that's a problem. The phone is getting the same check, but can't answer it.
I wonder if it would be any diff if on cloudfare nip-05 is done via a cloudfare worker app returning the json package for that url and not a static text file? Out of my element here but was just looking at today when setting up my own domain to test. Stupid gatekeeper mentality is ruining the whole privacy / security model. I'm also seeing more websites that absolutely won't work with good VPNs.
Yep, standard cloud flare stuff. They do have an option somewhere to enable Tor. I just don't know where it is.

Thanks Carlos. I'll give that a try in a bit. If it works for mine...I'll drop a not to the verified-nostr.com team to see if that's my issue from their site setup as well.
Well that's a no go...that WAF config option is at the enterprise plan level. Ugh. They have some tor cloudfare onion vs exit nodes related switch at my plan that's suppose to help bit already on. The enterprise WAF rule is suppose to allow lowering the captcha trigger level.
Hmmm i did this with a free account but that was almost a year ago. Not sure what is going on with cloudflare now. Private vps proxy ftw
up front...a big thanks for both of the responses on this to help guide me in this 'nu user' kind of stuff. my TL;DR answer...What I have found so far is that by reverting to only my phone's VPN network and not using Tor/Orbot setting within #Amethyst, Amethyst does work better for the #NIP-05 verification and Search function part of the app. All the ones I was having Tor/#cloudfare issues, now was much faster and now getting the verify check icon on these cloudfare hosted nostr.json files like verified-nostr.com See thoughts below as the Search function of this has it's own UI dilemma of 'still searching'. my thoughts/feedback...I think somehow having this kind of info from within the app would be best to reduce a nu nostr&Ametheyst user wondering why some user's id "works" and some don't. I'm not solutioning, just giving nu user thoughts. I also noticed during this specific exercise that the app's Search function doesn't let the user know that it is still actively searching relay's (not the NIP-05 referenced server it seems) and when the app is no longer searching. At one point during Tor based I thought there were no results put the phone down and then about a full minute or so later....a user seaarch result just showed up. Same thing under VPN but it was in about 15 sec or so before the result showed up. In both...had no idea the app was actually still searching. summary...These are very common nu nostr/app user kinds of activities where they are creating account, want to have a NIP-05 id and are likely to start with a free service, add it to their profile and looks like they did something wrong (blaming Tor here). While exploring nostr network, trying out the search feature, for other users' NIP-05 ids or trying to search for their newly created NIP-05. I'll concede that the 'common' internet user will see the app's question about using Tor...and just select 'no' because they have no idea what it is or their previous experience will have been ultimately...negative. If they at least have a good VPN...better than nuttin.
Ignore the comment about CalyxOS...brain fart moment. I can see your app check icon on other users and your acct, Is there any kind of debug log info I can look for from the app to see when/why verify fails? I can see my hash in their json file. https://image.nostr.build/0086d604b8849fb22abf77eb0341524c48b5a27153b1311417022f399b361b11.jpg Separate Q when using search feature and nip05 value , does it only use relays or does it start with nip05 json results if valid?
