**Attention new plebs that joined Nostr:**

While you're trying out new client, don't just go and enter your private key everywhere. This is like the private key for your bitcoin. You want to keep it safe. There's an extension that can help with this. Either [nos2x](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nos2x/kpgefcfmnafjgpblomihpgmejjdanjjp) or [GetAlby](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/alby-bitcoin-lightning-wa/iokeahhehimjnekafflcihljlcjccdbe). These extensions essentially hold your private key and  help you sign transactions, so you don't have to enter them directly into a website. Once you have these installed, visit metadata.nostr.com and setup your profile picture and your NIP-05 ID. If you're using the Damus app, this doesn't apply to you. Enjoy!

Want a NIP-05 ID? nostrplebs.com can help you out with that. 🤝

You can also find all sorts of plebs to follow by looking at #Plebchain.

Can you say why it doesn't apply for Damus? I mean I know the extensions are on a desktop, but is it ok to enter a private key here in Damus? Or is there a safer way to get in here that you or anyone knows of?

They key entered into the application shouldn't be vulnerable to an XSS attack.

Ohh interesting thanks!
