#plebchain #asknostr #introductions

Question:

Trying to create an initial nostr identity. Does anyone have a simple list of steps (and the most efficient place/ to execute each step) in order to make this happen.

I'm piecing it together between shooting and editing videos but I feel like I'm back in the 90's learning backend web infrastructure and development so I can build my website.

------------------------------------

About me:

ASMR videos. Nature videos. Relaxing pace, no narration. I create videos representing (and encouraging human engagement in) real world, first-person experiences. I promote ASMR, nature, and other videos from creators of complementary styles.

You’re here, and that’s huge. Take it one step at a time and tag me if you ever need any support! 🤙

Thank you! Will do it. First question.

Here is the order of operations I'm trying to discern:

1. Create hash (sha-256 ?)

2. Hash to create private key

3. Private key to create public key

4. Choose relays to use

5. Public key, private key, and chsen relays to create verifiable identity

Where am I incorrect?

Numbers 1-3 are usually handled by the client you’re using (e.g. Nostrudel or Nostur). Most come with default or recommended relays now so you don’t have to worry about # 4 when getting started.

You’re good to go at this point, but if you want to do some extra “verification” look into this: https://nostr.how/en/guides/get-verified

Thank you, thank you! That is such a help. I just went through the Nostr.help guides and got verified on nostrplebs.com.

And I wonder if the Nostriga event will be streamed.

This is a Primal.net issue, but it's been like this for a week now, no matter what device I log in from. It just won't let me update anything in the profile, including my lightning address and now my Nip-05 verification.

Who would you tag or what # would you post to to troubleshoot this?

For future reference, you can use #asknostr to see if you can get an answer from the hive mind.

I just figured out the Primal.net issue! Or it figured itself out.

Somehow by going back and forth between the phone app and the browser app, some records must have synced.

I made the profile updates. : )

Thanks for being available.

You’re welcome! Things might get out of sync sometimes when using multiple clients, but good to hear you’re back on track. 🤙

Very good to know. I'll remember this as a technical troubleshooting point in the future. 😊 Great feedback.

Funny because I’ve said it many times that Nostr feels like early mid 90s internet

Yep. I think that absolutely! I feel like I got my technology back. Hope this ride sticks around for a while. : )
