I’m confused - how do I access Primal?

I’m currently in Damus but this is confusing to use.

Easy way but slightly risky way is just copy your private key from Damus

Damus-settings-keys-copy private (nsec)

Paste into login or primal private key

Only do this sparingly though as it poses a hack risk to your keys. As you get more advanced, there are other ways.

Understand your Nsec must be kept as private as possible but your npub is your public key to be used more or less freely

Similar to email.

Eg.

Nsec is login/posting password

Npub is your email address

So Primal looks like a more user friendly platform, is that right?

Every client has its personal pros and cons and you will find your own preferences. It’s a different world.

It’s kind of like a new internet. Your login works everywhere and you will find your own way but yes, primal and Damus are great starters. Learn to use the search in primal.. Very customizable but Damus has its own gems too like the coming “notedeck”

So the same login will work across both “clients?”

Yup, crazy eh..every client ..

and you can login on some clients with your npub too but you can’t post or have control.. view only

Eg. You can login with my npub and see what I see but you can’t post from my account
