NIP-05 Identifiers are an e-mail address notation that confirms the owner of the address also owns a specific domain or sub-domain or the owner allowed you to register there. Relays can prioritize and clients can \"trust\" NIP-05 identified users. This trust-minimized verification system is a decentralised way of combating bad actors. If someone uses a domain to setup NIP-05 identified bots, these can be blocked by relays, and it makes it more difficult for bad actors to be NIP-05 identified as it takes time to setup domains in such a way. How do NIP-05 Identifies work? A NIP-05 identifier, of the form @ is an address that is resolved to a GET request to the following address: https:// /.well-known/nostr.json?name= For example, the address of ben@bengweeks.github.io has a respective JSON file available to a GET request (via GitHub pages) at: https://bengweeks.gihub.io/.well-known/nostr.json?name=ben Where the contents of the JSON file are as follows: CAREFUL: The string in the JSON file of 971615b70ad9ec896f8d5ba0f2d01652f1dfe5f9ced81ac9469ca7facefad68b is my Nostr public key (PubKey) in HEX format, as apposed to the [more standard] nPub format that starts with nPub1 . You can convert your nPub key at https://damus.io/key. NB The querystring of name= is there to be able to dynamically create the JSON file when used by a host for multiple users.
