Human-readable names layer on top of key-based .nostr domains #6

Description

@melvincarvalho

<npub>.nostr is self-certifying but not human-friendly. pkarr deliberately punts on naming; Nomen solves it with bitcoin-anchored names.

Keep the same discipline — keys as the root of trust, human names as sugar on top:

  • Petname-style local mappings in the resolver
  • nip-05 (_@domain) as a bidirectional hint: domain → pubkey via nip-05, pubkey → domain via kind 31034 / did:nostr, verified when both directions agree
  • Optionally interop with Nomen names
