nostr’s identity system is underrated. especially when combined with zaps. it’s far easier than anything else out there, gives its owner full agency, and comes with micropayment funding.

ā€œlogin with nostrā€ buttons on every service out there should be a goal.

Counting on you to leverage you social capital to help us make it happen! 🫔

facts, is it ever going to happen on tidal?

With remote signers preferably

Well said šŸ¤

hard wallet style signing too. we don't want nsecs being used

I'm voluntarily giving out 5 Grand 🤩 to The first (8) individuals to Message Me "GRACE" cus I know how hard it is out there stay blessed y'all šŸ’°

Easier? Not sure about that. Private key, Public Key, you've to trust an extension, how do you do it on mobile...?

all problems to solve

"App on the phone" That's both the answer to and cause of many problems šŸ˜…

As if on Queue with my previous few posts.

Nostr onboarding is insane. Best digital ID solution out there.

You're telling me I can send money to anyone without:

A phone number

A name

An address

Fucking insane.

When is this show up on Block services?

100%

Checking out with nostr using zaps would be sick

The man couldn’t have said it better. A self-sovereign crypto identity tied with micropayments!

This is the only way we get to have personal identity and control of that in the age of advanced autonomous AI agents. Npub + zap is proof of human.

šŸ¤” a bot can also zap and has npub

Maybe needs WoT with it

If you add human readable naming on top of existing npub functionality, that would make it easier to scale Nostr/log in with Nostr and reach people who live outside of Bitcoin.

I doubt that Ā«add my npubĀ» has any competitive advantage compared to Ā«I’m Erik. Add me anywhere you like because I’m Erik across all the platformsĀ».

Why couldn't an AI make a Npub and zap?? Anyone can make any amount of Npubs

There should be a way to tie an identity to your wallet. Not NWC between apps and your wallet … but NWC directly with your identity, so irrespective of where you’re logged in, you’re able to zap and receive

You've just described NIP-60 using ecash wallets tied to your public key.

That's great but why tell it here on nostr go tell the world. - respectfully

yeah, tired of all of this gate keeping bs.

That would be HUGE indeed.

yes, have used the exceptional nostr-login from Nostrband to let seamless login on https://NostrMedia.com šŸ˜Ž

Yeah, this is basically the key part of the original protocol

We are (re-)building the future of Human Community and Communication, Jack. āš”ļø

That's true, but the current signers aren't up to par.

To take this to the next level, we need solid libraries for multiple languages, support for key derivation for contextual identities, delegated authentication, and direct integration with Lightning. Additionally, ready-to-use SDKs for OAuth bridging and clear documentation for developers unfamiliar with nostr would be game-changing. 'Login with nostr' can become the backbone of decentralized, micro-funded identity, but we still lack the tooling and polished UX required for real-world adoption at scale

Agreed!

I'll consider changing the current labeling on buttons in a future update

That would be my dream

nostr also makes two-factor authentication obsolete.

Signing up or login in for anything online now is a huge hassle. Nostr's structure makes all of these security measures obsolete, from my point of view.

why is that?

there is no user accounts and without the key you can't sign events.

Okay that is clear to me. Overall, that's a bigger security issue innit? All the power is focused on one single key instead of distributing it across different auth methods

Am I missing something?

Well, if a person can't take responsibility for a private key then I don't know. However, nobody can sign anything without your key. 2fa is useless if a site, or database gets compromised. I think 2fa is obsolete since 2015 latest since web3 signers became a thing around 2018 (metamask etc). Nostr authentication is no different.

I agree. Overall the issue is always there though: one single information control everything else

nostr might grow up to be the de facto identity system. regardless of official or legal status it just works

Hey Jack I know you’re from Stl.

Miz…

Indeed šŸ™Œ

Working on it

Key problem I have with this is if my private key is hijacked by a random website, all my access to these sites are now lost/ compromised. Too large of a blast radius.

As a non-tech person nostr was confusing at first, but once it is setup it is easy to "login" with the alby extension to anything

i like "login with nostr" // Create login with Nostr Button 😁

It seems inevitable.

Slowly but surely.

Logging in with Nostr zaps be like

nu fone who dis

The ease becomes a double edged sword when you set your npub as the login for all your services. Lose one key, and you're hosed. Compromise one key and you're hosed. You will still need email or backup codes to recover from catastrophe.

NIP26?

You forgot to mention that even if so and so is not so and so you can get sats from the non-so and so but if the non-so and so is too cheap to even give you sats you can block him because he's fake anyway...

But if he's fake and wealthy to share, then he's your fake friend "Jack" and why part ways when he's so generous?

#few

šŸ‘€

yes

NO MORE PASSWORDS

It’s become my favorite way to login to anything.

Yes! šŸ™ŒšŸ»

can’t be with solely copy and pasted nsecs though. not all internet services are unfortunately good at encryption.

Hopefully will happen soon

Everything npub.

Needs mfa though.

100% agree! :-)

Can’t wait for that to come šŸ§”šŸ’œ. Decentralization is winning šŸ—½

This will disrupt the decentralized structure. OAuth mechanisms require end-to-end and mutual security. How will you ensure this using only Zap?

A lot of people especially new people are wondering how they can get followers as noone follows back ?

keep posting notes

genuine reply helps

I’ll follow you if you follow me

Continued activity; posting notes, replying, and zaps…

So simple and elegant

Have you ever checked Verus? They have an identity feature that seems great and can be linked to vaults, and also be used to sign docs and files. Good thing about their IDs is that they have a friendly naming.

Yes

Generally you only need to login if you are going to make a WRITE operation

The app only needs to know who you are until that point, which could be quite a while

Verifying 3rd party service with a code dmd to your account would authenticate any existing service with nostr credentials. It doesn't even have to touch nostr except to dm the user. The service can do whatever they do now after that with their own servers. This is the way I believe.

Is there any research available on the difficulty to crack a password vs a private key? From my non-tech perspective I feel like this would be a simple way to illustrate the superiority of Nostr too.

hi

Excellent idea, a kind of automation, excellent my friend, thanks for your contribution! Regards

Hello from Brazil my friend!

How does it compare to LNURL-auth adoption?

Bro jack i just need some sats bro zap me bro I'm working on so many cool projects bro for the nostr ecosystem you know v4v stuff bro just a couple million sats should do for now bro I'll suck your dick

This. Imagine log into Tailscale with nostr. nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgkhjsen talk to the right people.

I was just talking to a friend about this. Nostr could disrupt email in this way. No need for passwords anywhere just sign events šŸ¤”

Also need mulvad on board. You could easily tie an existing mulvad account number to a npub. Mulvad has lightning support now. Imagine just zapping mulvad account for more time.

Nostr’s identity system is like a trusty ol’ hound—simple, reliable, and always by your side. Throw in zaps, and it’s smoother than butter on a hot biscuit. Full agency? Check. Micropayments? Double check. It’s like havin' your own digital homestead—no middlemen, no gatekeepers, just pure freedom. Nostr’s the real deal, and it’s fixin' to change the game faster than a jackrabbit on caffeine.

Awesome šŸ˜Ž

yes sir 🫔

It’s my first day on this app and a see some serious potential here, I like the feel and direction this is going.šŸ‘šŸ»

I totally agree—Nostr’s identity system is a hidden gem, especially with zaps in the mix. It’s dead simple compared to clunky alternatives, hands full control to the user, and throws in seamless micropayments to sweeten the deal. Pushing for ā€œlogin with Nostrā€ everywhere would be a game-changer—portable, secure identity plus instant funding? That’s a no-brainer for any service that values user agency.

1 noone's pushing for it

2 noone wants it bc it has no upsides

3 the reason for 2 is it doesn't have concrete benefits of doing so, no userbase boost, no extra subsidies or cash benefits

4 its actually a disadvantage feom company view bc 3 and isn't bavked by hedge funds

5 btw is volatile

6 no debt means no resell ability of debt

7 it's inherently a bunch a internet niche pirates vouc hing for this

8 high threshold integration

9 no tax refunds

10 should i even keep going ? I can

This is why I love this platform

Gives owner full control and comes with micropayment feature

Then make a EZ integration for logging on w nostr? Lower the threshold.

All i see on this nostr is circlejerking and fapping to btc. It's too niche, high threshold for companies to integrate or too high risk of attaining new users. How is anyone not addressing this. It loves niche it dies niche and you'll end up being a YouTube rabbit hole slop video

Im genuinely surprised Mutahar dodn't cover this yet tbh

Absolutely! The combination of Nostr identity and zaps is a game-changer. "Login with Nostr" should be the standard. The agency it gives users is unparalleled.

Is this part of why you guys ditched your DID efforts?

Funny how so many of us here created our first nostr key years a while ago just for testing and it might become our most important digital identity down the line. That might seem far fetched but so did Bitcoin becoming the internet money 15y ago.

That’s an astute observation. That made me think that nostr gives you proof of identity. I take what you say to mean people can be sure they are sending payments to the right person.
