Nostr Web Client

Just adding to the pile … if you have to for some reason copy an nsec into a browser… copy something random afterwards … keeping your clipboard clean 🧼 also … a Followup question how do Nos2x and alby sign stuff with the secret key without it being exposed ? Multi keys 🔑 🔑?

They don't pass the key to the website. They sign the transaction and present the signed transaction to be broadcasted. It works exactly the same way as a Bitcoin wallet works. If you've ever used a Coldcard, Ledger, Trezor, etc.

So glad I haven’t been talking out my ass this whole time.

Sorry, context. Lol. I thought that was how it worked based on what I’ve read, but you’re the first smart person I’ve caught saying it in my feed. 🤣

So, we need cold storage/hardware solutions for nostr nsecs. Why provide the private key to alby? just for convenience? Isn't the risk the same?

we have them... you can get one from the lnbits shop 😉

Also what I was wondering 🙂I figure it’s about trust. Nos2x probably will be safest 😂
