NIP-05: The Nostr Equivalent of Twitter's Check Mark

Since Nostr doesn't have a single server keeping track of accounts, identity validation is a bit more complicated than it is with sites like Twitter. To have a easy-to-remember name that others can lookup to find you, you'll need what's called a "NIP-05 identifier". It looks like an email address - but isn't an email addresses.

Verifing your identity on Nostr is FAR easier and cheaper than it is on Twitter which charges individuals $8-11/month and businesses a whopping $1,000+/month. Here's how you get verified on Nostr…

If you have your own website…

Anyone with their own website can verify their own identity with Nostr. Just follow these instructions. There's no need to pay anyone anything!

If you don't have a website…

We're still working on our registration process, but when it's done - to get YourName@s3x.social as your NIP-05 identifier, just register with us and the NIP-05 validation is free. NIP-05 validation plus agreeing to be in our Nostr directory gives you free use of our Nostr relay - relay.s3x.social.

If you prefer to have your NIP-05 with one of the domains below - they're also available. You can specify one of them instead when you set up your s3x_SOCIAL account.
