So the NOSTR remote signer from nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyw8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtngd9nksmrfva58getj9e3k7mf0qqs8u5uf0rd2p9wmdxxaznpn54tkq8wwspmljy0cjqw6jdgm5kv84ds3selle works pretty well.

I have it plugged in at the house, connected to WiFi and I can now sign messages anywhere on my LAN or anywhere in the world over the Internet by using the "User Remote Signer" option in Coracle. I simply paste in the specific URL into the client.

But it is early days. The signer doesn't like a reboot, so you need to reconfigure it if you loose power and there aren't many clients that support remote signing yet.

But it is early days and just as wallet technology was very immature in the early days of Bitcoin, so it is with NOSTR, but your identity is more important than your money, so this is an area that needs to evolve quickly.

A genuine criticism of NOSTR is the vulnerability of exposing your private keys in order to paste them into client apps like Damus or Primal.

This solves it, but the standard needs to be adopted quickly across all platforms.

The vulnerabilities:

1. If the path to your signer is leaked, then anybody accessing it, can sign notes as you. This is a problem, but much less so than leaking your private key. If this happens, you can simply reset your signer and create a new path URL making access to your key secure again.

2. The signer itself is not secure, anybody with physical access to it can link to your key path URL, meaning they can sign notes. If you have house guests or burglars be aware of this.

3. The keys are not secure within the device, there is no secure element chip keeping it safe, if somebody has access to your signer, they can steal your key.

4. If your home Internet goes down, you will not be able to remote sign notes, or read DMs. This could be addressed by offering a data centre solution, perhaps for corporate users.

I haven’t gone down that rabbit hole yet.

It's early days!

Time is precious.

By the way, is hard to take you seriously with your new PP.

That's OK, I am rarely entirely serious.

I'll commission a serious emoji version if I change my mood πŸ˜‚

I'm on it 🫑

I do have a digital nomad version you can enjoy while our team works on this latest request

(Don't ask why I have spare AIs of you lying around...)

Yeh, why do you have spare AIs of me? πŸ€”

Also, the Starbucks sign reminds me of this πŸ˜‚

A question I should be asking myself...

turns out the task was too much for the AI to handle. I asked several times to replace head with monocle emoji (that I fed to it an image of) and it output blank each time). May need to contract guy who made the laugh version

AND, just like that:

OK this one is more serious. Now its not simply that you β€˜are’ the emoji but that you wield it from on top of your nostr purple throne made from bitcoin miners and computer hardware.

Not bad, not bad, but it doesn't really look like me any more!

Here's some reference photos if that helps:

WTF? πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

Surprise πŸ“· πŸͺΏ

I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight πŸ˜‚

I don’t know why but I’m still laughing at my own meme.

Me too buddy πŸ˜‚

What if they had a baby?

Mike won’t be able to look at himself in the mirror and not think of this. πŸ˜‚

The body dysmorphia will set in and he will have to fly to Turkey with a rather strange cosmetic surgery request. 🀣

This is too close for comfort πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

awesome, i want to build one too

i hope its open source

i have to look it up

connecting to relay.nsec.app

and then the display turns off

i dont get it

try again tomorrow

for what reason there are 4 buttons

seems they got not much to do

I’ve only used the left one for pairing clients

Wow i will save this post. πŸ‘

ty. fair and accurate. we're working on improvements to move up from v0.0.0.0.01

I look forward to trying them, loving the signer so far, just waiting for more client adoption.

Fuck yeah mike as prince of Persia πŸ”₯

You like my new look?

It's true, I did πŸ‘€

I resist the urge to post about half the stuff I make with GPT. Probably still insufficient restraint.
