Digit is Digit. I love her. I knew her online from wallstreetbets and she disappeared while going through some shit. I keep needing proof she's safe. To anyone I've ever treated unfairly, I apologize.

You know nothing about Digit and that sucks for you. Neither of us know if she's safe, and therefore you and I are both wondering if we have any futures, which sucks for both of us. You're not processing it well.

I'm working on the very first book about Nostr, "21 Questions: Nostr Edition", which is a follow-up to the book I completed earlier this year, "21 Questions: Bitcoin Edition" (https://a.co/d/5nv1GoK).

Like the Bitcoin Edition, the Nostr Edition will list 21 of the top questions that new Nostr users tend to ask, and each one will be answered by many of the greatest minds involved developing Nostr and spreading the purple pill. 🟣

And that could also include 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

The first question/chapter in the book will simply be: "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿?" How would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 answer that?

Share your answer in the comments, and if I think it's good enough, I'll include it in the book, and attribute it to you, forever immortalizing you in the first-ever Nostr book.

Nostr is a cluster of apps and websites where humans can post freely, there are no bans, and you can move a profile freely between the apps and websites so you're not stuck with any of them changing to control what you see and do.

You don't seem happy to be interacting with me, based on this image. It seems like you're not really thinking about your actions.

When I was on Bluesky the responses I got from people about nostr were that they weren't interested in it because it seemed like a thing for Bitcoiners and right-wing Nazis.

Such stupidity is enraging, and I never thought of "this is because of a fund called OpenSats and your backup is needed" as a psychological response.

People on Bluesky need to be told this.

Someone seriously needs to go on Bluesky and go around saying "hey you know nostr is actually decentralized and we need people with interests other than bitcoin to offset the money from the OpenSats bitcoin fund sucking up all the air"

I'm so right about how useful this would be for the human race's network effect, you have no idea. But I'm banned from Bluesky because the deep state knows what my instincts can do with network effect. Catch 22

From my experience (some of this is the same for factory Android):

When you set up a profile or go to the settings for profiles from the main one, you can install any apps from the main profile to any other profile.

Each profile can also install apps on its own, just for itself.

If you want an app to be in multiple profiles but NOT in the main profile, it can be kinda cumbersome to set it up in each separate profile because updates need to be installed all at the same time to avoid conflicting signatures. It's easier if an app is in the main profile so you can just add it to other profiles from the settings.

This is my current #grapheneOS setup.

I have three distinct profiles on my phone, each serving a specific purpose.

𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: This is my daily driver, free and open-source apps only. It has everything I need for my daily needs. For privacy reasons, I've excluded #bitcoin and #nostr related applications from this profile to maintain a low-profile and avoid leaking my online identity if someone were to snatch the phone out of my hands.

𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: This secondary profile is designed as a decoy. I've installed a bunch of normie apps to make it more realistic, and some closed-source ones that I occasionally need. I rarely use this profile. I only switch to it when absolutely necessary, if you know what I mean.

𝗖𝘆𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: This is where my true online identity lies, and where all the bitcoin and nostr apps reside. TOR, E2E chats, secret notes, and files are all here. I only access this profile when I'm alone and confident it's safe to do so.

All profiles have different passwords, obviously. Fingerprint disabled. And I've customized the color scheme of the menus for each one of them, so I can easily tell which profile I'm on.

While inside the Decoy Profile, you cannot see the installed apps from the other two profiles, but you can see that there are indeed two additional profiles on the device. I've taken extra steps to obscure this information by changing the profile picture on all three profiles to solid dark color that blends with the UI, and removed the profile names by using a invisible character, making them appear identical (i know it's not 100% fool proof but it's the best we can do).

All profiles have a pure black wallpaper, and the home screen has no icons, folders or widgets (except on the Decoy Profile). To access an app, I simply scroll up and open it from the default drawer, which displays all installed apps on that profile. This approach saves battery life and adds a slight bit of privacy.

Each profile has its own VPN running continuously, using different IP addresses, with killswitch turned on. All my free and open-source (#foss) apps are installed via Obtainium (aka downloads straight from the source). The closed-source 'normie' apps used in the Decoy Profile are from the Aurora Store (aka downloads from Play Store without needing an account).

Every app installed has most of its permissions stripped away, leaving only the absolute minimum required. Storage and contact scopes are always used.

Microphone, camera, NFC, bluetooth and location services, always turned off, unless absolutely needed for a brief moment.

Finally, I have disabled auto-updates on all apps and the operating system itself (by disabling 'System Updater' app). I want to be in control of my device, I choose when to update. I can't risk crowdstrike-like updates, so I wait a few days before updating.

#privacy #cybersecurity #opsec

I kinda do this but with a core profile for system functions that can't be done in other profiles, then separate profiles for pretty much every category of stuff I might do - gaming, using nostr, using my google account, etc

Can be a bit cumbersome if like, I see a meme on nostr and want to share it on discord, but cybersecurity sucks these days so there's not much else to do about it

I finally started using a laptop for nostr recently too and wow do devs sure support it better

I made the only current nostr wiki articles for dogecoin and monero, but I made the dogecoin one first 😶‍🌫️

Dogecoin will arrive when the nostr community needs it most, I assure you

We'll see how that works out. Piracy hasn't been stopped, there's a great quality Deadpool & Wolverine TSrip out already
