Another dumb question?

So I get that I have a private key, but I don't know how to keep it secure, or at least I'm not confident that I I'll be able to keep it secure because it's not clear to me when it's safe to use it because how do I know if an app I'm inputing it into is genuine.

So just like X, but for different reasons, nostr just seems equally unappealing as a place to invest in, because in nostr' case it seems almost inevitable that, at scale, the average user is going to loose control of their private key.

I can't square this circle and nostr will not scale imo until it resolves these fundamental usability questions for the 'regular' user.

If the idea of personal responsibility is too much for you. Maybe nostr isn't for you. Pen and paper is handy otherwise.

That will be my decision, not yours.

Good, that's a better attitude. But understand security goes into your hands and the fact you think that isn't good enough is my concern.
