The best route is to generate your keys with an airgapped device like nostr:nprofile1qqs09jtvjlmyrxjn37zv70a89csegcz7rpyqjmnw29cveedhv7vagqqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejs92xe5k and keep your keys stored securely stamped into steel or another metal (hint, only the first four letters matter). Keep the order correct! The last two seed words contain checksum so you know if you flubbed it. Its also important to stamp in the 8-character hex checksum for most wallets. Use xpub to create watch-only online wallets to generate btc addresses to send to. Use your offline signing device to send btc out of the wallet. This way your keys never touch the internet.
Be sure to keep your computers and phones in a different room when handling your seedphrase.
I picked up on the four-character prefix. Got a favorite steel wallet kit?
So not something to try with any old wallet? Doing it watch-only seems prudent.
I *love* the idea of SeedSigner! Completely air-gap the keys. Nice.
An untested backup plan is no plan. On that note…
I can test restoring from a 12-/24-word seed phrase by setting up a new wallet with that seed, right? Then just destroy that wallet? Or is there a better way to test the backup plan? #asknostr
This is why I’m experimenting with turning leaks in spending into sats this month. A little impulse control now, huge wins later.

Nice analysis on Pavel Durov and our expectations of privacy from Andrey Meshkov writing for AdGuard. https://adguard.com/en/blog/durov-detention-privacy.html
Testing AVIF compatibility. I’m not hopeful, since Primal gives it a .bin filename. https://m.primal.net/KPET.bin
Good call—it was the commas. I didn’t realize how much they would be missed. https://m.primal.net/KPDr.webp
Can someone tell me why I’ve got the warning badge next to my NIP-05 handle? Or why noStrudel isn’t showing my avatar? I get the purple check and avatar in Primal and Damus. 🤔 #asknostr https://m.primal.net/KPAo.webp
Arguably mine, since it was the only relay configured when I replied. But it’s spread.
…and I can’t get the screenshot to attach from noStrudel. 🤷🏻♂️
Oh yeah. She loves her sun puddle. She just wants to get close, and then she zonks out.
Spent part of the weekend working on getting a relay up and running. All of the tutorials I found were for stacks that don’t match what I’m trying to do, so there was some guesswork involved. Installing the Docker container was fine… but then what? Took forever to figure out how to configure it. I’m not sure if the config.toml file was placed correctly. There’s no way to monitor the relay and watch what it’s doing.
I’m sure part of the problem was me holding things wrong—I only joined Nostr a couple weeks ago—but if you’re asking about ways to make it harder for new relay operators to hold it wrong, those were the pain points last night.

Thanks! I just need to figure out how to configure it and properly expose it to the internet.
I really should go to bed and play with setting up my own Nostr relay tomorrow…
Focus on what this makes possible. For example, saying no to gelato means saying yes to 4700 sats.
What do you do with a drivable, slightly blind par 4? Add a bell to ring as you walk off the green. (We didn’t know we were supposed to wait when we teed off.) #golfstr
The arena will beat you up. That’s its purpose. It's not there to give you glory, honor, and fame. If that's all it did, people would line up to be the man/woman in the arena instead of sitting on the couch eating potato chips.
Those who win aren’t the ones who hit the hardest, the ones who are stronger than anyone else, or the ones that walk into the arena singing “Tubthumping”.
They’re the ones who learn to take a hit and keep moving forward. They’re the ones who understand that true victories are scored on a card that no one else will ever see. They’re the ones who realize that in the arena, they’re only up against themselves.
GM. It’s time to step into the arena.
Let’s roll.
One of my fave YouTubers just ended her membership program. Today would have been the renewal date. I stacked 8300 sats instead.
