🎁 Announcing Keycast 🔑
A remote signing platform for teams.
https://share.cleanshot.com/y4XbqKpT
Remote signing (NIP-46) has always had a lot of promise. Apps like Amber, nsec.app, and others have made it possible to manage your nostr keys in a way that is safer than browser extensions or pasting your nsec around the internet.
BUT, none of them catered to teams. Groups like nostr:npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l and nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk and many many companies out there are just sharing the main account nsec between different people and using it in different apps. A recipe for disaster.
Keycast aims to finally fix this. It allows you to:
- Manage teams of nostr users
- Manage multiple keys that you want to give others access to
- Create authorizations for those keys that grant specific permissions that can be changed, revoked, etc.
- Create your own custom permissions
- Run the signing infrastructure without any extra work
And do it all in a self-sovereign way. Keycast is meant to be run on your server, by you. I think it's tremendously important that this sort of tool doesn't exist as a hosted service (which would basically be a huge key honeypot over time).
The app is both a management web app AND a backend process that manages sub-processes that listen for remote signing requests, check permissions, and sign events.
There is a basic docker setup to start, but my goal is to have this easily deployable to StartOS, Umbrel, Podman, and others.

Do they do Christmas palms?
Merry Christmas Eve and good morning! ☕ ☀️ 🫂 🥳
GM! ☕ ☀️ 🫂 and happy holidays! 🥳
In 30 years you will be 45 years younger? I sure hope I will be 😂
GM! ☕ ☀️ 🫂 yeah that's where the tech and progress has to come in. It will take much longer than anticipated unfortunately :((
Small stuff is easy to spot and rage over. Big stuff is super hard to realize and understand as relative changes are usually tiny and slip by. It's like trying to see 1% improvement every day that is nothing compared to yesterday but YoY% adds to a lot 1.01^365 -> ~37x.

Start extremely small that it looks like nothing at all and then take it from there.
Sure, you can send them here bc1pcvwcaeykd9sky5ktycfhglg4hqzm8lwedzw7l54epl6ksm67jjmq6e5qp7 😂
Woke up too early today and couldn't fall asleep again. It is quite interesting how interrupted sleep can have worse effects than being drunk.
