From 7f75d0db33435fe9fcb6c04f18d0e610b17cebb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mplorentz Date: Mon, 1 May 2023 14:15:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Change NIP-21 URL->URI I think the `nostr:...` scheme is not actually a Uniform Resource Locator, because it doesn't tell you where the data is located. For instance if I see the string `nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9` I understand that this identifies a Nostr keypair but I don't know where to find data for that keypair. The scheme does fall under the definition of a Uniform Resource Identifier, or maybe even the stricter class Uniform Resource Name. But nobody talks about URNs, so maybe best to just use the less-specific term "URI" here. --- 21.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/21.md b/21.md index bfbb3ae5..6246eb49 100644 --- a/21.md +++ b/21.md @@ -1,12 +1,12 @@ NIP-21 ====== -`nostr:` URL scheme +`nostr:` URI scheme ------------------- `draft` `optional` `author:fiatjaf` -This NIP standardizes the usage of a common URL scheme for maximum interoperability and openness in the network. +This NIP standardizes the usage of a common URI scheme for maximum interoperability and openness in the network.
