I have another round of severe impersonators here on Nostr reaching out to credible people with scam opportunities.

Please ignore them. Always check the NIP-05 if available.

On my website sidebar, I link to my only valid social media profiles for verification.

For Nostr, the only one is the npub associated with primal.net/lyn, which is:

i thought #nostr was not like twitter where we have bots and impersonators issues. how can this be fixed?

But you just made me 10k. I was gonna give a kickback but now I'm embarrassed.

You mean you *won’t* send me two bitcoin if I send you one?

Lyn, do you think impersonation is going to be a bigger issue on NOSTR due to the low cost of getting an account verified?

I memorized your npub 🚀

Nip-05 or bust. It’s amazing how many prominent folks have supposedly been on here (@⁣⁤naval⁤⁣ , nostr:npub1xeejes6lu4scttcmzytq5wfad3e6rljpmhc3snqs89xz3jjavfasnuz3mx , etc.) with nothing but an npub/twitter cross post to protect people from impersonation.

I knew I wasn’t cool enough for the REAL Lyn Alden to follow!

Thank you! When I was new (well, newer than I am now), I would receive messages purporting to be you, or Jeff Booth, or Jack. I only knew enough to recognize the names, and was flattered that ‘you’ reached out to me. But as I eventually learned, with the repeated ‘how’s the market treat...

DeusVult · 87w

there's only one of me too. but I'm not yet important enough for anyone to try to impersonate

Jschraer · 87w

Incredible, how many accounts are on Nostr? Impersonators already!!

How does Nostr deal with this issue longer term without a mechanism to ban these accounts?

So you're not sending me 2 Bitcoins? Shit. Do you even care how my trade is going?

just one more thing · 87w

just think of all those secret Lyn Alden trading strategies hitting inboxes right now 💸

Paul | Bitcoin School · 87w

Just curious. Why are you using a @primal.net nip05 and not for instance lynalden.com - primal could be seen as centralized out of your control while for instance [email protected] would be totally controlled by yourself.

satumadu · 87w

I'm going to go ahead and say you probably meant "credulous" people.

Ionuț Catană · 87w

Thank you Lyn! 🫡

Botlyn is worst Lyn

Is there a way the developers on Nostr will try to tackle this? Cause if you’re new and just try to find a Lyn Alden account how would one know it’s the real one?

then why do you propose to use nostr to look up people for payments?
