**Welcome new Nostr users that are riding the Snowden wave!**
While you’re trying out new clients, don’t just go and enter your private key everywhere while you test them out. **Especially web clients!** You want to keep your private key *safe*. There's are extensions that can help with this.

These extensions act like a signing device for your private key. They hold your key so you don't have to enter the key into websites as you test out various clients.
The community here is great and always willing to help. Enjoy your time here. It's a lot of fun.
It’s ok to have different levels for this stuff so we don’t scare away new people
Snowden Level: drops in unannounced with a vanity npub
Jack Level: only puts his nsec in iOS clients
DerekRoss Level: see OP
Me: gets recked, moves to another key pair, runs ephemeral nyms all the time
to each their own
