I could be wrong but I don't think clients can follow names atm. I suspect this will be the addition introduced in the new nip they plan to submit. (Nip 69 - i couldn't find it anywhere in GitHub)

If I'm right, then this could be seen as an alternative to nip05.

Whether clients resolve the name by using the TXT record or nip 05-style should be irrelevant, the most convenient and more scalable approach will win.

I'm a bit worried about potential future compatibility issues...

ADDENDUM: I wonder if it would be possible to choose an alternative TLDs, e.g. “.shitcoin” instead of .btc



bitcoin

YES, thank you! Didn't even think that clients could allow you to follow a name and not a pubkey. Was hoping for something like this to allow rotation of keys.
