So far I'm gathering that a public and private key distinction is important. I already plan on mentioning zaps but it's not the primary focus of the article. And yes, this is very much me farming for information.

As a technical person who had experience with Bitcoin and has used plenty of decentralized technologies before coming to nostr, I'm sure I have blind spots. Also, I'm trying to write this in a way that will be digestible for somebody who is not a technical person or has no experience with Bitcoin or using something decentralized.

So I read on nostr.com that you should not enter your private key in any client.

Correct me if I am wrong. How else can you log in and access your content? How can you set up a walled? How can you get verified?

What am I not getting here?

Signing apps! Something like nostr Connect, NOS-2X or NOS-2X Fox for web extensions. Alby had one. Android has amber I'm sorry I don't remember what the iOS app is, but there is one out there.

They can spin up new keys for you and manage multiple accounts. Or at least I know Amber for sure can, and NOS 2X Fox will im not sure if the iOS app does, but I don't see why it wouldn't....But these apps hold your private key for you kind of like a password manager and also like a password manager, They authenticate your actions on nostr.

Well more research for me now. Thank you

One last repost of this. So far its keys / key managment and distiction between public and private. The use of signing apps. Ln wallets for the US. Nip 05 vs usernames.

Ive gotten some good info so far on new user pain points.
