description	Fix duplicate Nostr events (Kind 30000+ parameterized replaceable events) caused by missing d-tag. Use when: (1) Same content appears multiple times on relay for same pubkey, (2) Events aren't being replaced/updated as expected, (3) Publishing NIP-71 video events (Kind 34236) or other addressable events and seeing duplicates. The d-tag is REQUIRED for addressability - without it, each publish creates a new non-replaceable event.

Nostr Addressable Event d-tag Requirement

Problem

When publishing parameterized replaceable events (Kind 30000-39999, including NIP-71 video events Kind 34236), events appear as duplicates on the relay instead of replacing each other. The same content shows up multiple times for the same user.

Context / Trigger Conditions

• Publishing Kind 30000+ events (parameterized replaceable events)
• Same video/content appears multiple times in user's feed
• Events have identical pubkey, kind, and content but different event IDs
• Relay returns multiple events when you expect one
• Using NIP-71 (Kind 34236) for video events
• Using NIP-23 (Kind 30023) for long-form content
