I was just thinking to myself this morning about nsecs and what to do if yours gets compromised? Is there a way one could have multiples linked together as you, so that you could deactivate one if it got compromised (or lost or something) and still proceed with your same identity and all your previous notes and social graph? It's not like you can just change your password as with other apps.
Maybe an nsec bunker could help with this? Maybe it already does? Honestly, I've found them too confusing to use myself, and it sounds like nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcjgxv3n hasn't fared much better:
#asknostr #askdevs
I think this is a supremely underrated necessity for a really great and secure Nostr experience.
Basically two main options to fix this, imo:
1. generate a new key for every single client you use, and then sign with a master key that “this is mine” and so every user sees them as all one account.
2. generate sub keys *from* a master key that you can give specific permissions to and make a new one for each client, and it simply is allowed to reach out to a main device that has your master, and ask it to sign. (Basically the nsec bunker design)
Both open up a ton of possibilities. The first is easier, but requires more complication and data gathering from the client side it seems. The second has the problem of needing an always online device that manages the master key, or having some sort of “good for 100 posts” key or something somehow.
Both are not easy, but both seem very possible. And I think this is far more important to have a system for than people recognize, imo.
Of course. To say one isn’t to concede the other. I think the major trade offs mostly happen at the protocol layer, which much of those issues are being solved very well, it’s simply about extending them up to those who can use them properly.
Again nsec bunker like tools are a great example. Literally all of the tools are there, it’s just never been made intuitive and the edges haven’t been cleaned up. And if that doesn’t happen then there’s no demand from clients to support it. Circular problem.
I think it’s less of a problem of trade offs for a lot of these, and more a problem of people excited to build a tool that they can use, but not interested in building it for someone who doesn’t understand anything about it. Devs I think get lost in chasing the next awesome thing, rather than doing the slow, difficult process of making the last thing built really streamlined, intuitive, and reliable.
Not saying I am not guilty of the same. It’s like building a house but never painting it or putting up trim. It’s just the annoying part of building because it’s slower and it feels like progress isn’t moving at all. But it makes all the difference in the world from the user’s perspective.
I also don’t think we should depend on the devs to do this. I think we need “another layer” of developers, who work with this stuff and try to clean it up for the regular user.
Part of the direction I’m trying to take our team is related to that. Hoping I can help, but I also know how much harder it is to get it done vs *wanting* to make it happen.

The ease of use and bluesky’s trade offs are very often not related. Decentralization and usability are not and do not have to be mutually exclusive.
nostr:npub1gz7uczyg3kvdf8grlwfmllguc3kehrcc05yvnlypkjklptgql5kqa0zkqj yes but not in a way that’s easy to use and makes sense to the users. And we don’t have easy ways to discover them either. Our DVM feeds are slow and only work in a couple of apps. We don’t have good follower suggestions that go beyond showing the most popular people on Nostr.
It’s not about making sure the feature exists, but making sure it’s usable.
If you build a cool feature but ignore its usability, you might have well not wasted time on the feature.
This is a very seriously under appreciated reality in both #Bitcoin and #Nostr generally.
(Not saying there aren’t tons of great tools, but it does seem to be a broadly present issue)
As someone who has tried very hard on multiple occasions to have secondary/sub keys and using nsec bunker to let others post with limited permissions to my key… I can confidently say it’s all trash. And I don’t mean that like nobody worked hard to build something cool, because I know people did, but it’s practically all unusable.
lol, who and why would someone even say that? Without context of the individual, I find it very difficult to not assume that this person has serious insecurities about their own life decisions.

Tried out the setup that nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0nj0rty has for Pinokio. Have a hole sail server running on port 7860 of a windows machine. When I scan the QR code with my android device, it says connected on port 5000? Is that correct?
That's probably just the default, you can set it up with any port you want using the --port flag on the remote side.
ie.
holesail --connect biglongkey --port 9988
What the port is on the other machine doesn't matter, although I will often keep it the same so its easy to know which is which (until naming comes to the manager).
So if the pinokio tool is running 7860 on the "server" machine (my linux), then ill connect and put it on the same port for the remote machine (macbook). But the computers aren't talking over that port, its simply the local "door" that the service is accessible on when you open it on your computer.
Hope that helps

100%, and that would be if wrongful convictions and corruptionwere rare. They are sadly very much not.
honoring the humanity is each person is the exact opposite of equating their situation, their skills, their beliefs, or their opportunity with their race or sex.
And it doesn’t matter if you want to sow division or not, when you say “as a straight, white male” to preface your position, you sow it regardless. Because you literally establish the mental framing that this is a critical part of your argument, and the next time the reader listens to someone else, they immediately think “I wonder if this is a straight white male?” Because you taught them to.
How you think about the problem precedes the solution. EVERY time
I disagree. Imo, thats analogous to the first step to getting rid of fiat is printing just a little bit to help the poor. It’s axiomatically losing the fight before even beginning.
Minority groups have been negatively affected explicitly by the thinking that has been targeted to *help* them. The govt “assisted” communities have been utterly decimated by a bunch of people stuck in a racist mindset with the “good intentions” of helping them. But failing to separate race from condition.
Literally, the problem would fix itself if we stopped making it the most important part of dealing with each other. But we can’t, so it won’t.
I don’t see how it’s relevant. Bitcoin uses CPU power to establish a global consensus or “canonical truth” of Bitcoin’s history. Nostr and spam aren’t really relevant, other than PoW could maybe be used to protect against spammers flooding a relay by having non-paying or non-invite or non-WoT users provide a small PoW in order to broadcast to the relay specifically.
Otherwise the idea of competing processing power doesn’t apply unless we are all trying to find a single global state and agree on which is the “real” one.
The first step before anything in that regard can be achieved is to stop using the mental frame that arbitrary physical traits define who a person is.
“these things like straight, white, male are not arbitrary traits…
they’re very real concepts that heavily frame the way people think.”
I agree and I’m saying that it’s an ignorant and unproductive framing that shouldn’t be embraced, but challenged. It’s exactly how you get stupid laws or sudsidies that are race based rather than income based.
Framing is everything, and if you accept the framing of those hate based on sex and race, you will only encourage everyone to think like that. And no it isn’t useful because other people adopt it, imo. There are real, valuable means by which to judge people, reasons to provide assistance, and models for thinking how to better society… none of them that don’t contribute to more problems start by judging people by their race and sex before actually meaningful characteristics.
Does it count if you were already migrating away?

I’ll be perfectly honest, the most appealing thing about Scientology to me is the vast difference between the nominal and physical age of Tom Cruise…

While this is a very fair point, it is also worth noting that this action has explicitly transformed it from one of the most dangerous and violent countries in the world, to one of the safest.
It’s extremely difficult to have a course of action to solve a problem that is so intractable as to have corruption invade every level of the system that is supposed to “adjudicate” the process and have it actually be fair or just. When the system itself is so poisoned that even its design can’t protect it, what do you do?
Again not excusing it, just sharing my thoughts on why “a fair process” doesn’t make a just outcome when it’s completely corrupted from top to bottom.
I’ll point to Jeffrey Epstein as the example for those in the US. How well did it work out to have a system as corrupt as he is, adjudicate and punish his actions? Oh that’s right, they defended him, protected him, funded him, and let him walk around free for decades and then when there was even a hint of the degree of his evil and malice getting out to the public, he was murdered in a cell, behind guards, and under surveillance in a system who’s SOLE purpose was to keep him alive so he could stand trial and we could see some semblance of justice.
So it’s not so black and white as “did they get a fair trial.” Even as someone who holds that as a paramount right of every human. I wish it was, but the world is a messy place. nostr:note1x8z4lwzjknfq7p30p20t3e5yttj0lzjzkywv2hv9388k9cgwma8qn8xq0v
