Those out there running personal relays, what are you using to run it? VPS? Umbrel? Something else?

#askNostr

Which #Lightning wallet are people using for #Nostr? It’s about time for me to set up one.

I got the basics set up. Not a functioning client yet. Will probably only be a minimal client to prove that everything works as expected. Device program-binary should do what's necessary but not fully tested yet. Then see where we go from there.

What’s everyone’s #nostr client of choice? On mobile, I’ve enjoyed Primal but on desktop I’ve been using Nostrudel. #grownostr

That I can't delete posts, unlike likes, or undo reposts is the single largest UX difference between Nostr and other social media. Not saying it's bad. But it does have an impact.

No, sry, I think you misunderstood. I can (with reasonable likelihood) have hardware-backed mechanism (prototype) in a couple of weeks, maybe one if dependency libraries work out and I allow myself to be very optimistic.

It's a small general-purpose security device, more of a prototype. Not with extreme hardware security (yet), but the necessary computations would be (protected and) executed in hardware. Also depends on design and expectations, given that device would need to be present for signing. I can think of variations in which device protects nsec at rest, then unlocking secret to load in client-app memory. We can prly support multiple varations for different purposes (simultaneously).

The problem is that support would need to be present in the clients to be useful, and it would require a considerable amount of time to also modify the clients. I am quite limited on time/resources so, with no support from any devs, I don't want to further divide my focus. I proposed this idea before, but got no response.

I discussed an option with someone before. He never did follow up. I guess not interested.

There is something with some limitations, that can work. It's fairly freeform. Either work with a secret embedded on the device, which you cannot choose, or work with a secret that's stored on the client such that the device is needed to work with the private key, e.g. on-device signing.

Yes, all those can store your nsec so you don't have to paste it in your browser.

I dunno about Yubikey. I would never trust a hardware device for anything. Can fail anytime

there are signer apps for browsers, keepass, etc

Hmm... Thank you for that! You could explain to me the difference, in the C to the T; at the end of the “USD”.

I really don’t know and it may seem stupid I don’t know. But I really don’t know!

I didn’t quite understand the question. The idea was just to buy a dollar and leave it there! If an opportunity appears, use it, and even in a way, preserve value; since our currency (BR) is too fragile.
