Prove me wrong.
Discussion
Idk you Parker so I’ve no dog in the fight. Zero context on your backstory. Curiosity is all. Did you get hacked? Nsecs aren’t currently hackable last I knew, and I know people who’ve tried + tried with AI.
You can't hack a nostr key the same way you can't hack a Bitcoin key.
i think you missed the point. nsec is always hot.
he’s not wrong. but solutions will be created by those smarter than me.
Theee is little incentive to control an identity since there is NIP5 as soon as an account is compromised they can notify followers and make the NIP5 invalid on the old account. Followers will know almost immediately the user isn't authentic if it were a big name account where there was an incentive to control it.
it goes beyond public posting. for example, don’t all your private conversations get compromised? which could be more devastating depending on the content on those messages.
Yes. Nostr is not a secure coms protocol. It's an open coms protocol. If conversations are meant to be private, they're best done with another protocol.
Nsec is always hot just like Satoshi's and every early adopter's Bitcoin wallet.
Further, nsec isn't nearly as valuable as your monies.
Not really a proof but the only way of getting my nsec is to specifically target me on my devices. No way of social engineering third parties to get my identity.
Indeed if I lose it my nsec is toast but I trust my setup a lot more than I trust X. Look into what happened just recently to nostr:nprofile1qqsxc56ajk5xtxerf4dqspgrfa0s5elrcr80lnz9nasldq87j3zzf0cpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0nlyql2
Sorry, too busy proving trump is wrong when he say, "We subsidize cana-duh 200 billion a year" :)
Uhhh there's been many people who lost their nsecs and rebooted - people followed them again.
C'mon now, judging how keys are handled right now is insane.
It will be figured out, but either way the tradeoff is totally reasonable:
Freedom for the appearance of "security".
I don't expect corporates to move to Nostr & we don't want you guys here.
Your biz models rely on people who are allergic to self custody.
We are the intolerant minority.
The ungovernables.
The self custody cult.

FROSTR is the solution.

Still has a long way to go, but you can create an account and post for the time being, see my GitHub issue raised here:

See here how Parker is / was right, but won’t be for much longer:

He's not right, it's a pseudo truth to divert attention.
Yo. Get out of the matrix
You also trust some software to generate your bitcoin key. And that software can also be hacked. Where is the difference?
