That latest version of nostr:npub1uq70uqgas9pyhds2zt57kr9se8rg3s68ztphjnq82ts8rzeknmeql7u0c2 is powered by Nostr. I didn't know this. Fedi accounts are Nostr npubs. Fedi also includes a NIP-07 signing extension allowing you to browse and use the Other Stuff of Nostr with ease. I saw a handful of Nostr apps included on this "apps tab". They just work. You can also export your private key to use the key in other apps. And soon, you'll be able to import your existing private key. Mind is blown. Super bullish.
Discussion
Does a nostr private key enable the ability to spend the ecash? This could be an attack vector for phishing nsecs.
That I don't know. I was just shown the Nostr integrations. It started out as needed end to end encrypted DMs and from there just morphed into utilizing more of Nostr 🥹
I thought they were using matrix
When showing me, Cody mentioned that they were originally using Matrix but have since implemented Nostr.
Clarification. They're using Matrix for group chats and DMs, but with NIP-17 merged they can move to Nostr DMs. But right now it's just the npub identities and NIP-07 signer for apps.
The global chat parts reminds me of Beeper https://www.beeper.com/
I did not know that! It gives a glimpse into how all of these decentralised protocols can be used together for both free speech and financial freedom.
"Fedi accounts are nostr npubs" means they hold the nsecs, or you can log in with Amber or similar? And they are still closed-source? What makes you so bullish?
https://github.com/fedibtc/fedi-alpha looks open to me? Most native apps hold the nsecs like you said. Very few apps support Amber. Amethyst and 0xchat are the only two that come to mind? I wish more did. Having a built in NIP-07 signer is amazing. That makes me incredibly excited because the vast majority of Other Stuff apps on the web are not used or when used, people enter nsecs into them. This will be a massive help to Other Stuff adoption and be secure for users.
Got it. Fedi is acting like a sort of Amber with a browser with window.nostr - I love the idea.
However, Amber is free and open source code and afaik has reproducible builds.
But that Fedi repository has zero code. Just a README file? I don't even know why they have one. They could easily be sweeping people's nsecs and no one would know.
nostr:npub1uq70uqgas9pyhds2zt57kr9se8rg3s68ztphjnq82ts8rzeknmeql7u0c2 mind explaining us why you are not open source?
