Asking for email is 🤮🤮
Discussion
It's required by law, they don't have a choice.
Why would that be? How about other clients?
Because of the wallet they have to do that, that's what Miljan said.
"Current" Nostr Client has a wallet and never needed email. 🤔
I'm not sure, that's just what Miljan said.
That is in case you want to get a primal's LNURL address, and use their wallet. you can use your own if you want.
Still you can use any info there(disposable email etc). I use duckduckgo email protection, works great 😃
They have choice like damus with the post installation script, but when you want to centralize your client you dont have option..
what?!? Required by law!? We always have a choice! Cowards.
At least in the US it is.
That does not matter. Never sign contracts with governments. Find ways to get outside their jurisdiction.
They shouldnt bend over like that. Dont incorporate a wallet if it means asking for email.
Asking for an email isn't that bad, it's not like they are asking for a phone number or government id. You can use an alias as well.
Dude, then say the same thing for phone numbers. You can use an alias for phone numbers. But thats the wrong way to think! The solution is to NOT ask for these things. I have no idea why peeple love to jump to this idea of "just give an alias". Thats a cop out of a solution! 🤙
I'm not saying it's a good thing to ask for emails, I'm just saying that they are legally required. You don't need to add an email just to use the app, only if you want to use the wallet. I agree that we should try to avoid all forms of verification though.
KYC is the next rug.
