The idea of whitelisting an npub for account migration would be brilliant. However I can imagine that the implementation may require some deep pondering by the devs.
Verifying my Nostr backup account, in case my main private key gets compromised.

Good idea.
I've been thinking about this also. For now, before we have a technical solution, we could post a note and keep it in our public bookmarks.
Below is the Npub of my account backup #1. I have set my main account to follow my backup account. I will keep the robot avatar for my backup until I use it.

For now, I verified my Nostr backup account via Twitter/X, until a proper solution is in place. Link:
Yes, that's why a whitelisting is a good idea.

Yes, this is how many of us feels about savings in Bitcoin. Similarly the psychology functioned the same throughout history in relation to gold and silver.
Hard money savings brings certainty where there is uncertainty.
A few thoughts on free will.
Free will involves self sovereignty, from the simplest of organisms to the more advanced species.
When we ask if free will exists, we are asking if sovereignty and free agency is possible.
Free will can be viewed as a spectrum, from low degrees of sovereignty to higher capacity for autonomy.
If we are intoxicated, our freedom of deliberation is clearly impacted. If we had a brain implant that forced us to carry out someone else's command, we would basically have zero free will, hence no sovereignty.
Considering this spectrum then, from lower to higher degrees of sovereignty, it makes sense to define the higher echelons of self sovereignty as free will, as contrasted by its opposite; complete subjugation to the will of another.
If I would sum up the arguments against free will, in the most favorable way I could steel-man it, what I hear is this: you are the sum of your parts. Hence you must act within the confines of your personality.
This does not contradict the definition of free will as self-sovereignty. We are free to build and change our inner environment to our heart's content. We are free to build positive or negative responses to our experiences. We are free to explore any subject and press beyond our previous boundaries. This doesn't mean that we are without flaws and limitations, just that we have the potential to be sovereign.
We know that colors exist because we can observe a whole spectrum of colors that can be differentiated. Saying that colors doesn't exist gives us no practival advantage when we are dealing with colors, quite the contrary.
Free will is a spectrum that defines the extent of our self sovereignty and free agency. It makes little sense to claim that sovereignty and individual autonomy doesn't exist, unless we want sovereignty to not exist.
It would be a disastrous mistake to claim that an obedient cog-in-the-wheel, who is requiered to follow its commands without the chance of refusing, is equivalent to a free-willed individual with the capacity to break free from its bonds and challenge every command.
Free will exists because we can observe a spectrum of free agency and the more of it we have, the more sovereign we are.
Free agency exists.
The opposite is slavery.
Yes, decisions must be made with a cool temper. However, if we go back to classical battles, the time when the light and mobile units are charging the enemy and causing them to flee is not a fully rational operation but a flow that overcomes mental barriers of what is possible. The opposing army flee because they meet with the overwhelming force of an avalanche coming their way, a force of nature.
Good read, thanks for sharing.
Congrats, hope for the best.
You are the entity sorting your thoughts, arranging, restructuring, testing, evaluating, considering and meditating.
Both attachment and detachment are important. Balance is knowing when to engage each.
Ironically, the only place where they would be allowed to tattoo themselves like this, is in a society with some amount of free markets (free agency).
It's the same battle.
Truth can only emerge in a free marketplace of ideas.
Yes, apart from meditation, this is also a fair description of what programming teaches; to put aside our assumptions and look at what works vs what doesn't work based on experimentation. To not invest all our emotions into something prematurely before we have tested it. Evaluating a theory based on its practical results rather than its appearance.
Also in modeling, the mind is trained to observe, rotate, interact and become one with the process of modeling that particular thing you are modeling, to align with its nature from a perspective of curiosity.
Curiosity is the best path before assumptions.
Ouch.
Tough love lessons I see. 😄
Nice work by Yury, well balanced.
Welcome. I used to participate on Reddit a long time ago. What I didn't like was the downvote function that got increasingly abused by political activists.
I got kicked out from a subreddit I had been on for years for simply replying on a controversial thread and arguing for decentralization as a path forward.
At that point, there was just so many political activists that had overrun the place that it didn't seem a meaningful use of my time.
Here on Nostr we don't have downvotes and nobody can cancel you. People can mute you (block) although this doesn't prevent you from participating, you are just not visible to them. (Unless they click 'show message' on your note)
We are a happy bunch of liberty-addicts.
