💯 got designs for this nearly done.
Do you know of any other app that combines both of these btw?
Yup, they do reddit with sats.
1. Another silo
2. Sats as the only option (for interaction, algo, access, ...)
3. Their ugly UI as the only option
4. They will rug you
I mean, what's the use?
1. Do you need the number if connections, and for what?
2. Do you want to know who an npub is connected too, and for what?
...
Wiki's can help solve this too.
On the page about "Relays" I want to see:
- wiki entries
- hashtags linked to this subject
- forums (group chats) that discuss this
- kind-1's about Relays
- articles about Relays
- ...
In short, displaying wiki entries is only the start
Yup indeed 🤦.
Group chats are the way.
Just have to clearly separate the "chat" from the "forum" side of things.
Chat is where you say GM.
Forum is where you start serious conversation threads.
When would that be useful to know?
What's the closest we have to boards right now?
Communities?
The ideal for me is:
1. Write post about, let's say "how having more kids makes women live longer"
2. Select the communities/group chats/forums I want to share that post too
3. Let anyone with access to any of these communities reply, read-only for everyone else
4. Make these communities fully forkable
Let's goooooo!
Nope, working on a related login flow right now.
Do you remember these other efforts?
Bip-39 is all I come across.
Thanks sir, was curious about this too.
Will not be easy to compete with Big Tech on that front, damn.
Again good question.
For now I'm just doing the math on the possibilities and putting it out there for feedback.
That said, I'm guessing the easiest would to be to check each box and ask:
- is it empty?
- does it contain an emoji? Which one?
- does it contain a line?
Then add password
Then do magic math and end up with an nsec
(the emoji part would always have the same standard size/length, so I don't know if the password could be treated like a btc-passphrase-like add-on)

128 bit #keymoji

Just using 2 of these 4x4 works as well and is easier to display/handle on mobile.
Even this example would be a step up from 12 words.
For visually minded folks like me at least.
(3664^7) x (64 x 63 x 62 x 61 x 60 x 59 x 58) x (3^6) = 3,3E38 = 128 bit indeed
Keymoji:
Making normies create & remember secret keys.

Yes, it's a stupid idea.
Yes, it's something you would never do for a bitcoin address.
Yes, it kinda supposes key-rotation will a thing at some point.
Yes, it needs to be combined with a great "login"-flow for other apps (which I'll share this week 😉)
But,
It puts keys in the minds of normies. Literally.
(insane how fast people can remember even randomly created Keymoji's in my tests)
It doesn't hide nsecs in honepot-bunkers or behind email-looking sign up flows.
It doesn't use the English-only 12 words seed phrase.
It avoids clipboards and even if users are stupid enough to save a screenshot of the emoji's, it's only one part of the key.
The lazy way is (to let the app generate the emoji's + line for you) is the most secure way.
Think about it 🙃.

1️⃣ Best case math:
Emoji's 👉 3664^4 x (16 x 15 x 14 x 13) x 4 x 4 x 4 = 5E20
Normie Password 👉 guesstimate for >8 letters = 1E9
Total = 5E29 = 98 bit
2️⃣ Usual case math:
Emoji's 👉 1848^4 x (16 x 15 x 14 x 13) x 2 x 2 x 2 = 4E18
Loser Password 👉 guesstimate for >8 letters = 1E6
Total = 4E24 = 81 bit
3️⃣ Worst case math:
Emoji's 👉 500^4 x (8 x 7 x 6 x 5) x 2 x 2 x 2 = 8,4E14
Laughable Password 👉 guesstimate for >8 letters = 1E4
Total = 8,4E18 = 62 bit
I checked this https://unicode-org.github.io/emoji/emoji/charts-15.0/emoji-list.html and it seems updated to unicode v15.1. Where do you count 3664?
Btw, some emojis have just a slight difference, e.g. color, and this could make harder recall the correct one.
1. Skin color, gender etc nearly double those 1874 in the unicode list
2. It's ok if you don't recall the correct one exactly, because you have infinite tries and know what to look for
