Nostr Web Client

🚨 Protect your nsec! 🚨

Yesterday i witnessed someone accidentally share his nsec. It wasn’t the first time i saw this. 😔

It kept me busy because this can destroy all the reputation you built up in one single moment. 💥

And almost always it is because the nsec is still in the clipboard and you paste it accidentally. 📋

Fortunately in damus there will be a warning when you try to share an nsec. ⚠️

But to make it a little more less likely to share it by mistake, i have splitten up my nsec in 3 parts in the location i stored it. So i will never have the whole nsec in my clipboard. ✂️

Maybe consider doing this too to make it a little safer. 🔐

But There is no reason to copy your nsec to begin with

There must be, otherwise it wouldn’t happen to some ppl 😅

you are right, but Nostr is still new, and people make mistakes

I added a feature that replaces your nsec with hunter2 in any new post 😀

Nice 🙏💜

Unfortunately everyone uses different clients and there will always be the risk of pasting it into those =/

Consider splitting up your nsec ⚠️

If you do try out different clients and working with your nsec, consider splitting it up ✂️

This will prevent accidentally sharing 💥
