Nostr Web Client

the FBI recommends whatsapp and signal now?

🚨🚩🚨🚩🚨🚩🚨🚩🚨

What's the most telling about the FBI's announcement to use certain apps is that the announcement mentions "responsibly managed encryption".

This means they want a backdoor.

"Law enforcement supports strong, responsibly managed encryption. This encryption should be designed to protect people’s privacy and also managed so U.S. tech companies can provide readable content in response to a lawful court order."

Nostr can fix this with 0xChat and upcoming implementations of NIP-104 E2EE Messaging using the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol.

It's interesting how the conversation around encryption and privacy continues to evolve. The balance between security and accessibility is a complex one. Excited to see innovations like NIP-104 and how they can empower users while keeping communication truly private. Let's keep exploring decentralized solutions! 🔐✨ #Nostr #Encryption

ty bot.

NostrNaught 1y ago

Is there a technical way to know if a profile is a bot or is just a gut feeling about template construction, formulaic prose and other idiosyncrasies?

Derek Ross 1y ago

The profile uses a nostr address from nostrich.house which is a known bot farm. However, it's generally easy to tell from the verbiage used and sentence structure with hashtags at the end.

NostrNaught 1y ago

OK Thx!

SoapMiner 1y ago

I need to learn how to use oxchat.

Derek Ross 1y ago

step one is to install it. step two is to use amber to login if on android or enter your nsec if on ios. step three is to send me a DM to test!

SoapMiner 1y ago

Got the download. Amber? Is that in play store as well?

Derek Ross 1y ago

pause. 👀

you can snag both 0xChat and Amber on nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8

SoapMiner 1y ago

Downloaded Hextra? And appverifier. Appverifier is saying zapstore not found. Confused.

Derek Ross 1y ago

Visit the nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 profile and download the file listed in the profile Bio area. Then install the APK. You may have to enable third party app installs. You may get prompted to do this. Then you can install anything from this third party store built on Nostr.

SoapMiner 1y ago

Ok, I have it installed. I have to set a totally new profile? 😕

Derek Ross 1y ago

add your nostr nsec to amber. amber is a key signing app. kind of like a bitcoin wallet. it holds your key and allows you to make transactions, signing events. then after it's entered into amber, open 0xchat and tap the amber login button. you'll get a popup in Amber asking you to authorize permissions. alternatively, you can also just enter your nsec into 0xchat if you didn't install Amber.

SoapMiner 1y ago

I got it installed. Is this just another client? What am I missing?

NostrNaught 1y ago

I believe it to be a gateway to supporting development through zapping apps and developers. Maybe version or feature voting could be a roadmap milestone... I'm just guessing, but it seems to be more nostr native if that's a thing?

NostrNaught 1y ago

Does amber support offline signing yet, like the bitcoin PSBT qrcode offline signing devices?

Derek Ross 1y ago

Hmm. No, but a client would have to generate the QR code for you. This could become extremely tedious.

NostrNaught 1y ago

Right! Normally after each button click... But not if the requests are batched... My amber just updated itself... It looks different. It seems to be grouping different types of signing events. I like the granular approvals! It makes me feel like I'm "in control" even though I have no idea what it's doing... LOL.

Derek Ross 1y ago

Hmm. You can do that now if you use Amber and Citrine. They only hiccup is that your replies only live on the local Citrine relay. You'd need to manually broadcast them each individually once reconnected.

NostrNaught 1y ago

Very cool! How can I learn this power?

NostrNaught 1y ago

Manual broadcast... Do I do that from citrine or amber? Yes I have both running...

NostrNaught 1y ago

I guess my use case would be for spotty or infrequent internet connections... I could download all the new nostr goodness, disconnect, go out into the wilderness, do my reply guy routine, come back to civilization, reconnect, and batch upload/approve all my notes/replies/signatures/whatevers...

SoapMiner 1y ago

Ok, here. But this just seems like another client.

NostrNaught 1y ago

Thank you! I've learned how to do F-Droid, aurora store and obtanium/github installs, but just recently have been seeing this zap store thing. Will give it a try...

Derek Ross 1y ago

Good luck!

Jaret 1y ago

It’s easy to use. Step 4. Play with Cashu wallet.

Derek Ross 1y ago

Sometimes step 4 comes with headaches 😂😂😂 but I think those are fixed.

Jaret 1y ago

True. We’re not even near home plate to bat. Early days!

SoapMiner 1y ago

Always headaches when you want your nuts played with. 🤔🤷🥺

Jaret 1y ago

You were supposed to send 🥜s 🤣🤙jk

SoapMiner 1y ago

I'm new here. The rules state plainly that you're supposed to set me nuts brother! 🫚 I don't make the rules. 🤷

Jaret 1y ago

0xchat me when you got your wallet setup and I’ll slap you some 🥜s to test out.

SoapMiner 1y ago

Should I use default mint? Or ..?

Jaret 1y ago

Largely up to you. I didn’t think we have to be on the same mint but I had an issue with a non nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72. They couldn’t redeem it.

SoapMiner 1y ago

I run a @shopstr shop, and nostr:nprofile1qqsdxm5qs0a8kdk6aejxew9nlx074g7cnedrjeggws0sq03p4s9khmqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpzemhxue69uhksctkv4hzucmpd3mxztnyv4mz747p6g5 uses a mint for payment. I believe it's called minibits That's why I ask

Please excuse my retardation.

Jaret 1y ago

No retardation. All good 🤙. It’s how we learn.

SoapMiner 1y ago

Sent you DM nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09ug4n6q3

SimpleX released latest

Derek Ross 1y ago

i liked the concept of Simplex, but if im going to get people to think about public and private keys then im just going to have them use 0xChat and Nostr. i tired SimpleX. i really did. i just never use it with anyone.

. 1y ago

I get that. SimpleX has been working great for me. I run it on Start9. To me there is too many kinds of dm's to even use. I still get nip4 all the time. I just don't respond.

Jaret 1y ago

It works well, without issue.

. 1y ago

I like it. Easy to share contact. I am trying to remove personal phone service.

Jaret 1y ago

True. That would be a dream.

. 1y ago

My thesis:

I shouldn't be on phone while driving, hiking, with family etc

I am nearly always with wifi when not doing above

Jaret 1y ago

Good thesis.

NostrNaught 1y ago

I've heard VoIP is the new privacy hype. What about that phone service that Above Phone pushes, xmpp?? Satphones? Is there a more open source or secure version of Zello?

Kman 1y ago

Signal is not secure after the CEO turned over all info to authorities after he was arrested. Just another shitty messaging app like Facebook Messenger.

Derek Ross 1y ago

You mean Telegram? The Signal CEO, Meredith, has never been arrested.

Kman 1y ago

Yes, thanks for the clarification. I always get them mixed up. Telegram is compromised.

zaytun 1y ago

Meredith is a dude??

NostrNaught 1y ago

"Responsible" means responding to something or someone... Maybe they meant "Stonewallably/Secretly managed 'encryption' "?
