interesting that you brought up the hot wallet analogy because one of my questions is:

what’s the equivalent of a cold wallet for nostr?

i see nvault moving things forward here, but i’m still thinking about broader adoption.

imagining millions of users spread across a bunch of dominant clients. when there’s a massive leak of credentials in centralized systems, it’s somewhat manageable, but with nostr… that could be a protocol killer with no way to fix things.

but — just to confirm, clients don’t store nsecs outside of the device, correct? if not, then it makes sense that phishing or user errors are the bigger risks.

thank you!

gm!

reminds me of the substack ban, where any tweet containing a substack link was deprioritized, and blocked from being liked or rt.

two nsecs into the bride and groom envelope for a fresh start? 😀

very early gm! 🥱

thank you, Chip.

i’m very into product development and design, talking to a bunch of users every week. my opener line is:

> tell me only things you think might be hard to hear. these insights will help me improve, so don’t hold back.

what i usually get in return is pure gold — as someone smart said “never let yourself end in a >friend zone< with your users.”

ps. regarding nostr feedback… maybe you guys can enlighten me on this? #asknostr wasn’t any helpful this time.

i’d love to understand how these 100,000,000 nsecs is/ will be secured

usually, #asknostr and #introductions spark a lot of engagement, but not so much on this topic.

anyone willing to dive into how client apps store nsec keys? what are the risks of large-scale leaks, and how do we minimize them?

cheers Tomki!

hundreds of cryptocurrencies exist, and i get why bitcoin (first mover, broad adoption) but why is monero? i’m genuinely curious.

very early gm 🥱

after a few days, i get the sense there are basically two camps here: monero and bitcoinero. right?

i think that’s nostr.

i’m thinking about the first part, but, for a few days, i’m cracking my brain to find some analogies (“the old”) from other disciplines to what i see here on nostr. today’s concept of “feed marketplace” or nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 integration with nostr are just so unique.

today’s social media for obvious reasons (ad impressions) are like a crowded pub or speed dating. many faces, snap moments, next table, next scroll.

this changes though. concepts like substack and nostr’s nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x or nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 seem to introduce a more content-centric approach, where a conversation is on top of higher-quality consumption.

it feels more like reading a book in a park and meeting some friends passing you from time to time.

jump up and down

how many of these needed to realistically challenge the big players? could bitaxe act as a huge decentralized pool?

yeah, you’re right. but i think by the chart distribution it must have been, idk, around… 58k respondents? more or less, but i’m pretty sure somewhere in that range!

to take it further:

“each time history repeats itself, cost goes up” ~ r. wright

> Only 5.4% of the general population belong to these two types, but they make up over half of bitcoiners.

guess we’ll keep being the weirdos for a bit longer! 🤙

super interesting. even though myers-briggs is pseudo psychology, it’s still useful for making generalizations. was there any mention of the sample size?
