Why I recommend against Brave
Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it's even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

Cool native HTML elements you should already be using · Harrison Broadbent

Pelo o que eu percebo, é via software, o que não é nada seguro.
A carteira guarda em local storage os tokens que já foram gastos, e assim impede-te de os gastares outra vez. Mas se tu conseguires de alguma forma limpar a tua local storage, então a wallet irá permitir-te gastar os mesmos tokens outra vez.
Mas este documento é um pedido de propostas, não nos diz como é que no final este mecanismo irá de facto funcionar.
Os elementos seguros (aka security enclave) servem para guardar chaves privadas e pedir assinaturas com as mesmas.
Também não sei como é que vão impedir o duplo gasto (aka double spend) em modo offline.
Buenos días!

Hey.
Your original note as the id 6e65d8573d4ea763754b9b7b70b900a2f5a4203db7104c98448197028be2d918 and it's of kind 1
In https://playground.nostr.com/ I can see several events of kind 5 (delete events) from your pubkey (dbb19ae0e0ea853289c54c7ca810782b61306c848cad8d8416174597c3f22d5a) but none of them is trying to delete your original note.
A event to delete your note would need to have the following format (see screenshot) but I can't find it on Nostr.
