Here me out:

@nip05

how about we help differentiate nostr identifiers (NIP-05) from someone's email address

@ is the universally recognized character to refer to someone. I think Bluesky got this one right.

@[email protected] 👉 NIP-05

Thoughts? This will be important for the onboarding flow I have in mind and would love to hear what people think.

Good idea! Let’s do it! 🐶🐾🫡

This is the way.

Daniel Webert · 147w

yeah mastodon and fedi doing it the same

This is also how ActivityPub handles this

I like it as it is. One could say the same about lightning addresses. And how would you differentiate then the LN addresses from the Nostr ones? The @ at the beggining looks very mastodon-ty.

Have to say that I like the current usermane@domain nip-05. And find the double @ as ugly as it is confusing…

inb4 people point out the "here" me out typo: hear!

Make nip 05 providers also email providers. I realize this adds a large burden for providers if they want to provide an email client, but they don't necessarily have to do that. I made my NIP 05 ([email protected]) into an email address with an MX record. NIP 05's could do that with users' exis...

At first this stood out to me, the username seemed to have no correlation to the username in Nostr. This format might be better to not be confused as an email address: domain.tld/@username It could also be linked to an njump page that can open into a native application.

user@domain is specifying a user at a domain, it is not specifying any protocol. The fact that people see it and think it is an email address is unfortunate, because this format of specifying a user at a domain was not originally intended to be used exclusively by email. An email address URI is "m...

what about PabloF7z[&]f7z.io?

The double @ is what mastodon uses. Personally I think emails are losing their dominance and we should just use it as user @ server.

Clark Moody · 147w

Overload the email operator. No worries.

daniele · 147w

I fell the problem. But the double @ is confusing, imho. If we have to stick with @, let's capture the user@host syntax. I was talking about this matter here: nostr:nevent1qqsy282x04w20mcs2h2jd7eeltxj23r54enxwrhhc335rmcnafwe5qqppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5pzq77777lz9hvwt86xqrsyf2jn588ewk5aclf8mavr80...

To me Nostr represents the future. Kids in 5 years won't prob even remember what an email is. Gentlemen we must look ahead and think bolder. I think the format user@server is the way to go. Let Gen Zers wonder why this thing called "email" uses the same format as Nostr, they will barely use it anywa...

Nip-05 identifiers are overrated. WoT ftw.

Nah. Thatd start a push to do something for lightning addresses as well
