Nostr Web Client

#asknostr #NostrDevs Is it possible for a regular user to sign an "kind":1 event with a past "created_at" date?

I want to use this feature to send out some of my old Twitter/Mastodon posts, but have them not appear at the top of the feed as new events.

Which clients support this functionality? I've tried using Nostur's "Signer" module, but haven't been able to successfully modify the "created_at" field and sign the event 🤷‍♂️

Please guys, write a short instruction on how to do it 🙏

you could use nostril or https://npmrepo.com/nostr to do this easily. Any mostr library should support setting created_at

Not really for the regular user 😁 but https://github.com/jb55/nostril would work great for me, thanks a lot!

Should be no problem to modify created_at in Nostur Signer, it could be that the relays are rejecting your event because it is too far in the past

Ahh, I see what the problem was. There is a bug in “Signer" - if you edit any field directly in this modal window, you will get a json parsing error.

But if you edit JSON in an external text editor, you can successfully paste it into Nostur, sign and send it, so it really works 👍

Yes, some relays might not like it, but majority will accept. You can write in the past and in the future.
