Question I always have with β€œother” clients are, what assures the integrity of my private key? I mean, I trusted Damus of course, because that’s where my #nostr #plebchain journey began. Daisy? Iris? What’s a Nostrian to do protecting my identity with other entities? Isn’t adding a priv key to a new app like opening a CEX account with my passphrase? Serious concerns… thoughts?

Verify, and then trust. Maybe.

You could use browser extensions like #[6] but all apps are in different stages of development and can have bugs so just keep that in mind.

So the long and short of it is, as I said, trust. Something we desperately have a lack of these days and for good reason. I’m definitely holding tight to my key until I’m able to derive temp keys that are revocable to try other clients. Early day pains!!!
