Nostr Web Client

Does vnak allow you to first authenticate to a relay and then get events satisfying the filter from that relay?

I also wasn't able to figure out how to use the original nak with relays requiring authentication -- maybe use "--auth" in combination with "--sec" somehow?

On vnak it will authenticate to any relay provided that you have set a main secret key at the top.

On nak you have to pass --sec and --auth. There is also --force-pre-auth for when the relay doesn't send an "auth-required:" message but you want to auth anyway.

Thanks - the following pattern did work on nak:

./nak --author [pubkey] --auth [pubkey] --sec [privkey] wss://nostr.wine

I also tried on vnak and, when I click "send request", it actually freezes on the screen below. I'll try with other relays once I'm on them. Already very helpful to be able to do it with nak.

I'll also be trying to install pyramid tomorrow.

Sorry for the typo, I meant:

./nak req --author [pubkey] --auth [pubkey] --sec [privkey] wss://nostr.wine
