I don’t have the answer for you but I was thinking of the “WHAT IF’S” earlier today. How would a regular Pleb like myself get access to #nostr if the apps where removed from the App Store etc…?

Nuke every inch of the planet. And the Moon.

Amber is outstanding.

Took me a while to figure out that I had to remove my Amethyst profile before the app would work. Maybe some UI guidance helpful for the uninitiated would be useful?

Thanks for building.

Give me some feedback about amber and citrine, the good and the bad.

Hi guys, sorry for the noob question, but how can I be certain that I can safely post my secret key (nsec) anywhere? How can I avoid being phished? I was trying to join the group but got immediately paralyzed when I saw this page…

#DontTrustVerify isn’t it?

I will be interviewing one of the cofounders of Get Alby tomorrow, what do you want me to ask them?

Everyone smells blood in the water after that video.

after working on Damoose (safari extension), it seems nostore is pretty insecure because it exposes your private key to the javascript environment.

Since we store your key in the iOS keystore, we can just access this from the plugin background process instead of the browser's javascript runtime environment.

We can sandbox the plugin process to disable outgoing networking connection, so it can only send messages to and from the browser, so it should be way more secure than what nostore was doing.

People really don't realize how utterly dependent modern surveillance is on the idea that everybody is carrying a phone — which is always tracked. Their car has a cellular modem in it — which is always tracked. 99% of investigation is one guy and a search box. If you're not low-hanging fruit, you aren't gonna merit the Eye of Sauron of manual, well-resourced, focused team attention—and if you did, you probably planned ahead for it, right? Because it's not a mystery what would get you on Santa's Naughty List.

Anyway, the point is that even in a big city, the phoneless guy in a "covid" mask is going to be invisible to anything less than that exhaustive manual investigation — at least for a few more years. That may go away once they start networking all the cameras and having AI start trying to match up clothing sets moving from camera to camera, butthat capability is hard to hide, so it'll be in the news. And it won't work that well in places with less camera density and, perhaps, for people who wear the most-common outfits (the visual equivalent of a "shared fingerprint").

Remember: Phones are useful, but dangerous. And the people who will still wear covid masks to the beach are helping to normalize facial obscurity—regardless of their intention. Don't be mean to them. Encourage them to wear them everywhere. For passport photos. In police booking photos. At the customs desk. Family portraits! The sky is the limit—let them push the boundaries so that you don't have to.

Follow this guy. Excellent window into what is going on in Venezuela. There's no telling what happens here, hope for the people to stand up to the clear totalitarian fraud and coup of their government system. 🙏

But I will say it's awesome to have sources on what is happening that aren't being censored and a place where information can flow freely.

#Nostr makes a difference. Salute to those who share at their own very real risk. 🫡
