#WelcometoNostr Day 2

What are private keys, npubs, nsecs, and what's my password?

Nostr is built upon incredibly cool cryptography. There's no username and password combo that a central authority keeps for you and can potentially leak in a data breach.

Instead, your "account" on Nostr has a public key (looks like a long string of jumbled numbers and letters). That public key is what identifies you on the the Nostr network and not a username.

Depending on the client you use, you'll find your public key under your public profile name and is displayed to all users.

The only way to make a post to the "account" that your public key represents is with your private key.

Cryptography makes it so only your private key can post (or "sign") a note as valid to be posted to the “account” with your public key.

Public Key = Everyone can see, and is how you're found.

Private Key = Keep secret. Someone gets your private key, they can post to your account.

You can save your private key in a password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden. Other than that, don't post/display the private key anywhere.

For ease of use, some clients display a version of your keys with prefixes:

"npub" which represents your Nostr Public Key

"nsec" which represents your Nostr Secrect/Private Key

There are no passwords on Nostr, just Public and Private key pairs that work through cryptography. The benefit is that you're not tied to any one client, your account is extremely secure, and each message is cryptographically validated that it's you (or the one holding your private key) that posted the note.

Hope that helps for a little primer. I'm not the best at concise explanations. Anyone else want to chime in, feel free! We're all learning. Welcome to Nostr, it's a beautiful place!

Seeing all these sats flying around on Nostr makes me more confident than ever that Bitcoin is going to win.

We have the superior tech (nostr), now we need users and content. That will be more difficult I’m afraid.

Yeah, it's nice of you have a channel open with their node. You can basically zap for free because seems like most people are just using a WoS wallet for zaps.

WoS == wallet of satoshi?

Yes, it’s the most comfortable and with very good design. I was trying Muun and phoenix as self custody wallets but they don’t support lnurl receiving addresses.

Routing fees

How does this work for 1 sat transactions? Can routing fees be sub 1 sat?

I just discovered #[0] and #nostr yesterday. I was so excited I couldn’t sleep half of the night (that means something as my son is just 8 weeks old and sleep deprivation is real).

I didn’t see a beautiful desktop client yet, my fingers start to itch real hard to build a native cross platform desktop client for #nostr.

Are the folks running #[0] freaking out with all of these zaps or are they loving it? ⚡️

How do they make profit anyways? Any info on this?
