 Hey #Nostr client devs... should we collectively agree that we do not display any NIP-05 data if it is not valid? No red checkmark, no greyed-out domain, nothing. This will help stop the scammers from using fake nostr addresses on their scam accounts. #AskNostr 
 But don’t scammers have valid addresses? 
 I have seen a growing trend of spammers entering nonexistent nip05s, for example like this @note1h9cdje7e3veuk80mtjwc7epa9crs7qm8ftk5u5l0h6uk4uzkczqsrfdah8 
 Sorry, to clarify, not nonexistent... they might be legit as an address, but not assigned to the spammer's pubkey. 
 Oh. I don’t see it on Damus. 
 Oh nice! Glad @jb55 removed them. 🙏 

A few others have too, but I still see some clients where they don't, for example on noStrudel it'll show as red checkmark. 
 Never had them 
 Legendary 🤝  
 Never had nip5 in profile? 
 I think he meant, never showed broken nip05s on profiles? 
 Oh 
 t-y, Will, for your work 
 yeah thats how it should be 
 Yes, absolutely... isn't that obvious? Who do we need to flush their head in the toilet?
