Wow! So it turns out your nostr privkey can be used to run a tor service. You just put the key in the directory and start tor. It generates the keys for you.

But there's more. Because your tor key is also a #pubky.

Now you can add this to your uncensorable pubky DNS record. This turns every npub into an uncensorable Tor domain.

I've barely figured out the implications of this. You can have your own website without paying for a domain and users are protected from observation. You can have your own personal protected storage. Any npub can become a mint and connect to the lightning network. You can run a relay. It's a whole new surface for innovation!

Are there any tutorials on any of these features?

I can’t wrap my head around this but it seems like a big deal.. πŸ‘€

Now do deterministic keys! πŸ˜‰

Not sure I want the same key used for even more things, but pubky looks interesting. Going to give it a try today.

Could you do this with I2P as well?
