Nostr Web Client

Just noticed that when logged into iris (where I create my account) there is a message saying “Hey it looks like you don’t have a Nostr Adress yet, you should get one!”. What does that mean?

What client are you using?

This is an unfortunate part of nostr

Wow bizarre, I get a spinning circle if I try to go to your Follows

You mean it’s just “loading”? I do have some followers but I can’t see whom I am following myself

Ok! Is it like an account problem or an issue for everyone that will eventually get fixed? Are my follows lost or there in the background?

So this is my #introduction.

I'm a bitcoin maxi and clinical counselor. I've spent the last 12 years of my career drowning in an ever-deepening mental health crisis. Daily I saw people, especially our youth, being driven literally mad by this fiat world.

I didn't understand why it was all getting so much worse. Then I fell down the rabbit hole and everything suddenly made sense.

That's when I decided to step away from a broken system and move into one with more hope.

I left my job, I left my country, and I decided I was going to provide my counseling services for the hardest money in the world. Be the change you want to see.

My interests are #Bitcoin, #stoicism, #mentalhealth, #counseling

I really enjoy Nostr and want to make this my home. The X algorithm is making us angry, anxious and depressed. I'm healthier and happier here.

If you want, I'd love if you give me a follow

Welcome! I’m new to Nostr too, and have had a simile realization about the fiat world recently! Powerful stuff! 🌎🌏🌍

I’m using these the following relays but still can’t see my follows (people I have followed). My profile says zero.

Can anyone assist?

It's pretty simple, also without the BIP39 Seed phrase... Tip: The bitcoin private key is just a number. You can pick your private keys randomly using just a coin, pencil, and paper: toss a coin 256 times and you have the binary digits of a random private key you can use in a bitcoin wallet. The public key can then be generated from the private key.

Thank you — I looked into this, now I understand better how it works! I can basically create my own private + public key without ever exposing my private key on a computer unless I want to send something, right?

Use relay.damus.io nostr.mom nos.lol - that's where most stuff happens

penglunds 1y ago

Thank you for the reply! I’m using these ones currently — two out of three out of those you mentioned. Still not seeing my follows though!

Can’t figure out why!

You can't. Only safe way is to make up your own key from 21 words and use it as "paper wallet".

penglunds 1y ago

Wait, how do you mean? Is that possible?

penglunds 1y ago

Is there anyone with technical expertise who can explain just how difficult it truly is to hack a hardware wallet?

How can I be confident that my private key is never exposed, beyond simply trusting the claims of the company that manufactures the wallet?

they had problems with follow lists and relay selection,

(basically you can't use them together unless you make a backup first), I don't know much about IOs apps.

anyway this is your profile https://primal.net/p/npub1fjgr2kqrrp3s2cv5ytkfzd3redfr95fntge5jhhlph4z22uc09vsrv52r7, you can copy your npub, in the network you can see which relays you are connected to.

penglunds 1y ago

I’m able to view my relays under settings; I can delete and add new ones but not sure which one’s I ought to have? My posts and followers list appear to update on all apps perfectly but not my follows

That's interesting. I can see the three people who follow you, but your follows just hangs and i can't see it.

I don't know if it matters but you seem to be using some obscure #relays. Apart from #Snort and #Damus I've never seen any of them before.

Let me know if anyone has any more insight. I'm curious.

penglunds 1y ago

I’m using the default relays as set up when logged in. On top of that, I added the top 3 relays from nostr.watch earlier today.

clicking on your photo should take you to your profile, and clicking follow

I’m using Primal and Damus—can’t seem to find any button to follow myself 🤔

Also diving more into this and looking for videos and guides. Some goals: run a relay, figure out zapping and verification - still can’t zap anyone, and there seem to be a lot of options, with trade offs, so find the combination I like. nostr:note18fx42av2wnq9pqdequcrstm7qeatz06ewffemuu3n57txce6ekdqjnjxlf

Great idea! Let me know what you find and I’ll do the same! Everyday ppl won’t read GitHub, unfortunately
