Just went to give @walletofsatoshi a try on my phone, but was disappointed to find out that it requires Google Play Services to run, so it won't work on my phone. Bummer.

http://iris.to is great and solid

It is my go-to browser client at the moment. Just set up the Alby browser extension as well to manage my private key more securely with Iris.to.

Testing out the Alby browser extension to store by Nostr private key. Pretty neat.

That's the same node that's being sunsetted. You'll have to move your funds as well.

Yes, looks like that URL points to their same lightning node as well at: 02c3be1b43f90f089fddeff84014dca38fd0f6ab4224dbf6c18a5e36d55d7917cc

Count me in. Been working IT in the corporate world for almost 20 years. But they move so slow that even if we got them to decide to change today, it would be another 10 years before they got around to actually doing something. Haha

Maybe from a peer to peer perspective, but not in the corporate world. I don't see email going away any time soon with businesses unfortunately.

...pretty sure I've heard that on a TV show somewhere...

The social verification of keys on Nostr is just so strong because of all the interconnected relationships built on here. It is basically akin to meeting someone face to face and them telling you that, "yup, this is definitely my public key." Much strong validation integrated right into social media than I'd say we've ever had before.

I imagine in the future you could have signature validation for code signing purposes tied to Nostr identities. So rather than utilizing third-party key servers, you could go straight to the user's Nostr profile for verification.

Though I suppose that would require signing code with the same private key used for Nostr.

**thinking out loud**

It is pretty cool seeing all the entries fly by in my web server logs with IP addresses from all over the world accessing the nostr.json file to verify my Nostr profile. We've long had verification of public keys like this (tied to a known owned domain name), but it is cool to see it now so tightly integrated with a social media protocol like Nostr.

A whole day of sleeping while my wife watches the kiddo and you're telling me I get 10k BTC for it? Where do I sign up?! Haha

The beauty of having the capability to send notes to a distributed set of relays across the world.

I imagine there will be much less "virality" with posts on Nostr. Posts on Nostr come and go and unless there is a constant stream of people reposting something. Posts will mainly be acknowledged by followers at the time they're posted and then fade away.

I don't foresee posts taking off virally as much because there is no algorithm that will feed you posts outside of your social circles. I think this is refreshing for a social media platform and harkens back to the original days of social media where it really was just about your personal social circles and not so much about what's trending or going viral.
