Reminder: NIP-04 DMs have a security flaw.

With significant use (DMs + private zaps + zap payment requests via wallet connect + private lists), an attacker with sufficient hash power can brute force your private key.

Please consider migrating to the new DM with GiftWraps as early as possible.

We also invite all white-hat cryptographers out there to try to break the new system. The sooner we can stress test the design, the better it gets.

Is a nostr private key generated using the same algorithm used for generating bitcoin wallet private keys ? Why don't nostr use 12 or 24 or 24 plus seed phrase type of key generating support?

Mostly because we haven't gotten around to code it :(
