@Derek Ross & @semisol haven't you guys already squashed various "catfishing" attempts on NostrPleb?

Many, many of them. Hundreds.
I love NostrPlebs and what they’re doing, but these services are not a “verification”. NIP-05 is meant to be an identification to tie your account to a specific domain.
NostrPlebs gives you a checkmark, a searchable community, and adds friction (through sats) for the NIP-05 identification.
This is great to help verify you’re a human, but it’s akin to the $8 blue checkmark on Twitter.
Saylor wants the $1000 gold checkmark to verify he’s the real Saylor, because nobody would be willing to pay $1000 a month to scam people (unless they’re someone like Vitalik or SBF). He can have that through NIP-05 verification through his personal domain.
