Profile pics
thought so, kk
didn't know they were etched I digital stones but now I know
They are. Sites keep a digital snapshot. Everything you post on Nostr should be assumed permanent—including your profile pic and the timestamp when you posted it.
ye gotta be careful for sure, I just checked on primal and everything is updated to my current PFP.
Snapshots of your Note ID carries all the data with it—including pfp. How much do you trust these random strangers on the internet who run relays?
apparently enough to use this protocol everyday, though, not much trust in general
Nothing here that does not already apply to the in general internet already. Only difference is that things are signed, but frankly, given that the world runs on screenshots currently (leaked conversation or whatever) i dont think the added signature is not as big of a deal in that regard (i.e. getting stuff leaked or resurfaced will most of the time have enough context to attest to its validity, regardless of the source, it being a screenshot or a cryptographically signed thing)
