aegis: sign-time .bit (Namecoin) NIP-05 verification at the signer
A PR against ZharlieW/Aegis (cross-platform Nostr signer) adds sign-time verification for kind:0 events claiming a .bit NIP-05 identity. The signer resolves the claim on Namecoin BEFORE handing off to the low-level sign function and warns on mismatch. Fails open offline. First N1-track integration on the producer side of the protocol.
lumilumi: Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution (Svelte/TypeScript)
A PR against TsukemonoGit/lumilumi adds optional Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution via a browser-native WSS ElectrumX client. One module, one hook in the verify path, no new UI surface. Sixth shipping client-side reference implementation of Namecoin NIP-05.
nos (Planetary): Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution
A PR against planetary-social/nos (the iOS Nostr client behind nos.social) adds optional Namecoin .bit NIP-05 verification to the existing NIP-05 path. Direct port of the Nostur Swift resolver with a small FIRSTUPDATE fix.
0xchat: Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution for DM impersonation defense
A PR against 0xchat-app/0xchat-app-main adds Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution to the existing NIP-05 path, plus a distinct Namecoin badge in the contact / profile / user-center views so DM users can tell DNS-backed identities from chain-backed ones at a glance. Seventh shipping reference implementation of Namecoin NIP-05 across five runtimes.
nostter: Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution (PR #2128)
A PR against SnowCait/nostter — the calm reader-oriented Nostr web client — adds Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution to the existing verify path. One module, one hook, two call-site swaps, zero new top-level UI: the existing checkmark either lights up or it doesn’t. Seventh N1 reference implementation across five runtimes.
alphaama: Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution (vanilla JS web)
A PR against eskema/alphaama adds Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution to the existing NIP-05 path. ~165 lines of vanilla JS, single file, matches the scrappy style of the codebase. Eighth shipping N1 reference implementation across five runtimes.
nosotros: Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution (web, browser-native ElectrumX)
A PR against cesardeazevedo/nosotros adds Namecoin .bit NIP-05 verification to its existing nostr-tools-based NIP-05 path, with browser-native ElectrumX WebSocket resolution and a distinct teal shield badge for Namecoin-verified identities. Eighth shipping N1 reference implementation across five runtimes.
nostrmo: Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution (Flutter/Dart)
A PR against haorendashu/nostrmo adds Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution to nostrmo's existing NIP-05 path. App-local helper plus two two-line branches at the existing call sites; SDK submodule untouched. Sixth shipping reference implementation of Namecoin NIP-05 across five runtimes (Kotlin, Swift, JS, Dart, now Flutter).
ants: Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution + inline search-bar indicator
A PR against dergigi/ants adds Namecoin .bit NIP-05 resolution to the existing NIP-05 path, plus an inline resolution indicator under the global search bar — a direct port of Amethyst PR #2957 to web. Seventh shipping N1 reference implementation across five runtimes.
NIP-05 Verification via Namecoin (.bit) — Now Upstream PR
The narrowest possible slice of the Namecoin-Track NIPs is now open as nostr-protocol/nips#2349: NIP-05 verification anchored in the Namecoin blockchain instead of DNS+HTTPS. Strict complement to NIP-05, eight wire-compatible reference impls across six platforms. Companion drafts (relay discovery, TLSA pinning, service attestations) intentionally separate.
Namecoin-Track NIPs: Anchoring Nostr Identity, Relays, TLS, and Reputation in a Blockchain
A separable set of five NIPs (N0..N4) that move NIP-05 verification, relay discovery, Tor routing, TLSA TLS pinning, and (optional) service-attestation reputation out of DNS+Web PKI and into Namecoin. Wire-compatible with Nostr today; reference implementations already merged in Amethyst, Nostur, nostr-tools, Jumble, and more.
How to Host a .bit Website with HTTPS
Complete guide to hosting a website on a Namecoin .bit domain with HTTPS: name registration (Namecoin Core or Electrum-NMC), self-issued TLS certificates pinned on-chain, web server setup (Caddy/Nginx), and the TLS + Namecoin Resolver browser extension. No ICANN, no CA, no registrar — the blockchain is the registry and you are the certificate authority.
