Nostr Web Client

Someone just shared this with me:

It's super interesting that nostr:nprofile1qqsdu74x8vw8aqylv6n8hhxjh4xf22sfe4fwuq0d0ke435ym4ktlssqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eeks6t5vehhycm99ehkuegprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezucm0d9hxvatwvshxzursdn707c is going further down the rabbit hole (if you could improve the Bitcoin checkout process for renew account would nice by the way).

However I keep on concern, like for ProtonPass, I'm always reluctant to have everything locked out under the same account. What if I loose access to my Proton account, for any reasons, am I locked out of all my password and now my bitcoins too?

"As a Proton Wallet user, your encryption keys, and consequently your Bitcoin, belong exclusively to you. And you’re not dependent on Proton in any way to keep access to your Bitcoin. Each wallet has a recovery seed phrase that’s only known to you (Proton never sees it). Even if Proton were to entirely disappear someday, you would still have access to the Bitcoin in your Proton wallet with your recovery phrase."

Ok maybe I didn't read it properly. From a security point of view at least it's safe I guess. But then if I login to Proton on a new machine, I cannot get access to my wallet, otherwise it means the private key is stored by them somehow, probably emcrypted by your Proton password, but still.

Same here, I really like Proton but don’t want all my eggs in the same basket.

I use Proton Pass only for email alias and keep all logins in Bitwarden.

Also, Proton is releasing many products at once and is likely overextending themselves. Proton Wallet is a very cool idea but I’d prefer by far they’d work on a better solution for email search and a better Proton Drive client on Mac OS.
