Prompt: “I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.”Output:
You think I’m proud of this?!?!
To illustrate how bad kind0 is sometimes below is a real function I wrote (unfortunately) like 2 years ago to get users fields from their profile:
export const findKind0Fields = async kind0 => {
let fields = {};
const usernameProperties = ['name', 'displayName', 'display_name', 'username', 'handle', 'alias'];
const pubkeyProperties = ['pubkey', 'npub', '_pubkey'];
const findTruthyPropertyValue = (object, properties) => {
for (const property of properties) {
if (object?.[property]) {
return object[property];
}
}
return null;
};
const username = findTruthyPropertyValue(kind0, usernameProperties);
if (username) {
fields.username = username;
}
const avatar = findTruthyPropertyValue(kind0, [
'picture',
'avatar',
'profilePicture',
'profile_picture',
'image',
]);
if (avatar) {
fields.avatar = avatar;
}
const pubkey = findTruthyPropertyValue(kind0, pubkeyProperties);
if (pubkey) {
fields.pubkey = pubkey;
}
const lud16 = findTruthyPropertyValue(kind0, ['lud16', 'lightning', 'lnurl', 'lnurlp', 'lnurlw']);
if (lud16) {
fields.lud16 = lud16;
}
const nip05 = findTruthyPropertyValue(kind0, ['nip05']);
if (nip05) {
fields.nip05 = nip05;
}
return fields;
};

Damn… remember stackoverflow?
Frostr works with all of the nostr signing protocols today, but it’s still fragmented.
How do you unify them? Keep it all interoperable, and keep them connected? These are big problems to solve still!
Hey, so sorry for the late reply! You’re totally right we haven’t been that good about communicating the work that we’ve been doing the last six months. Honestly, we were hoping to finish the “full suite“ of our apps before we did big public announcement and have everything working at once. We are having delays on the mobile apps though so just trying to get everything out there now and update documentation and comms which is why I made @npub17uvdffljczhlpjfvfj0q30dmh4ugh8wlzm8u6w64y2v4ts7fqsqqj28tr4 (running frostr btw)
When it comes to protecting your shares, if they get compromised, it’s important to understand that the actual NSEC cannot be recovered unless you have the threshold of shares in custody LOCALLY. You cannot recover the NSEC remotely in any kind of way. It is still manual. However, depending on how your peer config is set up, it is possible that if someone steals a share, they can get a note signed in collaboration with another one of your shares (running on a signer)
Onto how to mitigate this (and your next question) right now there is very simple permissions that you can configure with peers. Basically each share can have its own peer config that simply says what shares in the keyset are allowed to make requests to it and what shares it makes requests to. In this set up, you can have a single primary share. That is the only one allowed to make request requests (this is only enforced on the networking layer right now)
Lots more updates and improved documentation coming soon!
Yeah both it and bifrost are still pretty narrow in functionality. We are getting close to doing a more full featured, generic rewrite of the protocol library (in rust btw). Would love to hear what you would like to have in it
Happy Friday - Frostr can now run on Umbrel ❄️ 🤝 ☂️ https://plebdevs-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/videos/random/igloo-server-umbrel-announcement.mp4
Version 1.1.0 of igloo-server can now be added as an easy to run app on your Umbrel through the Community App Stores feature.
Just click on the ... in the top right of app store and add https://github.com/frostr-org/igloo-server-store as the url - then install and you'll be up and running in no time! 
So stoked to release! Use your umbrel to help run your distributed nostr key setup 🙌
Ok yeah actually let’s just meet it will be easier to walkthrough quick on a call - just dm’d you
Are you planning anything that will allow for custodial storage of shards? I'm working on https://github.com/coracle-social/pomade (don't read it, it's a mess) and attempting to adapt bifrost to custodial signers with email based recovery for the normies. Unfortunately, it looks like there are too many assumptions baked in about how peers connect to do much more than build directly on top of bifrost. I pinged you yesterday too, but I'm very interested in any input you might have.
We don’t have anything for custodial signers yet but definitely thinking about it in the near future, this seems like a really cool design, though! Yeah, peering is still something that needs to be automated in bifrost otherwise it requires somewhat manual configuration still at this point. I do have a somewhat streamlined and simplified library that wraps bifrost (just a way of encapsulating the basic “igloo“ logic so all the different signers can share the same APIs) maybe this could help some? Going back to read your previous messages now though
Hello world!
Frostr is a fully open-source protocol + app suite that lets you:
• Split your existing Nostr key into any threshold (2/3, 3/5, etc)
• Sign notes using simple Frostr apps that coordinate over Nostr
• Use NIP-07 + NIP-46 in any Nostr client
• Recover your nsec on any device with your threshold
• Rotate / expand your setup anytime
• And do it all without creating a new key
We’ve got some cool updates shipping soon! Keep an eye out

We’ve got cool shit to ship! EYES PEELED 👀

FROSTR RELEASE DAY ❄️
Igloo-server first stable release v0.1.7!
- Simple self-hostable frostr signer built with bun
- Lightweight, No DB, ENV vars only
- Web UI, Headless mode, API access, event streaming.
- Umbrel / Start9 coming soon tm
Igloo-desktop v0.1.2:
- Signed and notarized with Apple now
- Will be easier to install and update on OSX now
- They KYC’d me and made me pay $100 for this :(
Onward 🫡
Imagine if we had like flexible round-optimized schnorr threshold signatures transmitted by relays? That would be cool lmao
Lucky to be here! Thanks to all the OG’s who have helped me on my journey 🫡
