🚨 Protect your nsec! 🚨

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

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

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

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

But to make it a little mire 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. βœ‚οΈ

Maybe consider doing this two to make it a little safer. πŸ”

I feel a lot of people will fall for this. Remember back in the days when you had to share your google password with 3rd party apps. This feels a bit like that.

Exactly. I am even hesitant to use it with alby πŸ˜…

You can just use astral.ninja to do that.

What does it do for you?

Im just saying you can easily look up npub/nsec...no need to publish

Andreas would disagree on seed-splitting... Sure, do it with your Nostr nsec, but bitcoin keys, not the best plan...
