I want my fancy checkmark! ✅

Easier to type name@domain versus npub1234567890abcdefg without typos.

Agreed and disappointed to see stuff like this: Would like to just send sats not “verify” https://cdn.nostr.build/i/996c9aac9d1d310503f1a4aa2972526668a5ea503e5e806da42f231557589a0b.jpg

i like supporting nostr plebs, that’s about it

It's much more ergonomic imo, and helps with impersonation a little bit.

For example if you are on a podcast and you want to tell ppl to follow you on nostr

Nip5 verifies users that use their own domains to host their nip5. No one else has a bitpins nip5

It verifies that the domain "knows" you somehow and you are somehow associated with it. And to find people you can say "Follow me on nostr, I'm [email protected]" and that works because nip05 contains my pubkey and the relays that I'm at.

I'm still in pushing for a Nomen address by nostr:npub19pw5egjuhcsfsv42zkjtjs6nhpm69lnv8w2dacdyez7rvacrqnds6xjtwk . I'm hoping a client adds it. Already registered a my name and attached my npub to it.

Human readable addresses for lookups are pretty convenient
