Hi! I entered my private key and I basically noticed 2 things. 1) wallet is not accessible. I can't access wallet, and it also shows some numbers of data transfer. I will choose to believe that this is a test or a joke of the developers. In that case, as an early user testing this protocol, having risked a lot into this process, I am already working on an article so future users of the world can know the dangers of decentralised media. It seems that everything, centralised and decentralised, has its pros and cons, and this experience of Nostracoin shows clearly that people can be easily deceived and lured into malignant nodes, relays and networks. Fortunately, as an Independent Crypto Journalists, my experience is of importance.

At first, it showed an increasing number of supposedly 20 NOSTR = 2000000000 SATS. Once I entered my private key into the website, the access to the wallet was replaced by a blank page without any other data except a footer that shows some data transfer. Paranoid minds would trip out a lot in such cases, probably becoming fearful that their data is stolen or something like that. Fortunately I am a very humble and transparent Independent Crypto Journalist, so I have nothing to hide, so the interface, that would have looked scary to some other users, seemed astoundingly creative and at some point super funny to me. But it also made me think about the implications in security and data protection. But it also made me think of it as a sort of digital prison/panopticon.

2) Although I was connected to some relays, I've seen that my note, which wasn't intended to be on nostracoin, was basically migrated and added to the relay without my consent or previous knowledge. This means that malignant actors can easily pick information from users and use it at will. In this sense, the development of Nostr basically poses a great danger for free speech, to he honest. But it is the same danger that also exists on centralised media with censorship and data harvesting. Both sides of the same coin.

I will elaborate more on a more profound article. But these are my basic observations, and I am glad for going through this experience, for it showed me a broad scope of reality, and also improved my level of self confidence, energy, and experience. You'll read it later.

Thanks for reporting the problem you experienced. It's pretty new, so there will, no doubt, be some problems. If you're logging in with your private key, it should give you the full interface and access to your Nostracoin wallet on the Wallet page (hamburger menu in top right). If it's giving you a blank page, that sounds like a bug. Can you give me more details, a screenshot maybe, were you logging in with your nsec?
