What is https://NotABot.net ?

The Purpose: Join a relay of fully verified NotABots. All humans. No spam bots. 🫂 *Setting this relay up is next on the list. I’m just one dude. 😅

The Objective: To become a Fully Verified NotABot.

The Way: Receive 5 verifications. Give 5 verifications. Make sure they’re all reciprocal.

The Strategy: GLHF

The Cost: Mine verifications with social proof of work. If zaps emerge, keep it fair and reasonable. Let’s not let our beloved zaps detract from the social signal. 🫂 will keep the signal stronger than ⚡️ IMO, but it’s all human coordination and cooperation. It’s all valid.

Reputation matters. Confidence scores will be a thing. Don’t be the one to invite the bots. Your verifications can always be rescinded. 🫥 (Yes! I finally found a use for that emoji!)

The Challenge: We are used to apps bending over backwards to make it easy for us to join using high time preference tactics and instant gratification. Not here. 😂 We all want you to make it in. But like all good things, it’s gonna take some effort. Be patient. Never feel rejected. If are not a bot, we will make sure you have a path in. Reach out if you’re having a tough time in this regard. I never want anybody to feel less than because of something I’ve built.

The Beauty: Inclusivity 💜

This one ☝🏼

Are you guys comfortable inserting your private key there?

I did but then #[6]​ suggested for future activities I should rather use extensions and not risk it. I hope it’ll not cause me any issues 🤞🏼

Hi Maya… As the dev, I assure you your keys are being used exactly how I describe below the sign-in form. You’re totally good. They are kept in your browser’s local storage while you’re signed in and are removed when you sign out.

That being said, it is always best to use a signing extension on any Nostr site or app. I’ve suggested to BTCSessions that he make some videos showing people how to set up extensions, and I hope he does. That way you don’t have to wonder, and I don’t have to feel my heart sink a little bit every time I read a message like this.

I just want to build cool things that people have fun using. So please rest easy, use an ext., and have a good time. 😊

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Keep Nostr Fun! PV 🤙

Thank you, Jason. Happy to know & keep building.

Extensions. Not just for gorgeous hair anymore.
