Case in point for adding npub.world search to more #Nostr clients.

Well I tried for 3 weeks to reach out to someone on Nostr to pay them back for a beer, they never responded. I thought i had the wrong profile so I messaged another profile that appeared to be his also and the other profile responded (making me think I had the correct profile) I then paid this profile 8 bucks for a beer that I owed the original person only to find out i paid an imposter. No to jazzed about Nostr right now. Totally feel ripped off and not really into Nostr at this point.

Not really. Anyone can get a NIP-05 from several free services or create their own NIP-05 registry for their impostor npubs. You have to know what someone's NIP-05 SHOULD be before it can help you distinguish a legitimate npub from an impostor.

I guess I use NIP05 differently. On the accounts I want to be verifiable, I use my own well known domains.
