Glad to know. I dont have an account because could't register without an invite code, but... If that is true... I wouldt use it. Privacy matters for several new reasons.
Because I do not have a invite code ๐ข
Completely agree. But the question here is: ease of use for new techs evolves it self by using other new technologies. That is the point for our well known #bitcoin /blockchain right? Market is building highways of brand new techs to use it. In the same way we believe that one day it will be used by the masses in several ways, also #nostr one day will have a couple of jerks that will call to other jerks and ...you know... If yes, I hope such kind of decentralized algorithms will be able to control such stupidity. But yeah, lets see... If so, for sure it will take several years
We were saying exactly that on twitter about the facebook few years ago. Wait for people to arrive here ๐
*๏ธโฃ #Nostr is far from give security and safety feelings to the masses, as a centralized authority does, yet...
There is a way to associate a new private key. It's not a perfect solution (didn't aim to be) but it is something that helps you rotate to a new (predetermined) key in the future in case of disaster.
https://kind0.io/app This app can help you create the needed events.
Humm, it seems not to be a transparent process for me.
Do not trust, verify! Right?
I couldยดt verify it, then I prefer not use it. Yeah, I'm a beginner,
But I believe is not possible to verify this feature.
- There's no reference for the code of this webapp. Is it open-sourced?
- if not, not possible to run that code by myself in a local environment.
- Only we have transparency where it isn't supposed to happen (we can see all the npubs generated by a supposed #nostr user)
Probabily I missing something here. But this is the point. #Nostr is far from give us security and safety feelings, as a centralized authority does, yet...
I write this note few seconds ago ๐

This is my concern.
There's something that worried me about having only a private key to login at #nostr and not having a way to recover from a leak or invasion. I mean, how can we feel safe if we know that a potential leak of our key will permanent steal our content forever? There's no password change /key change. Today we have several apps that we can use with this protocol plus web browser apps, several browser vendors, extensions, browsers with less security, etc... The ways you can loose your key to an hacker are far way more and faster, than the ways users can learn how to avoid them.
Am I missing something here? Is there a way to associate account to a new private key if it had been compromised?
What are the good practices to avoid this preoccupation?
Fedora 39, the default spin, with gnome 45. Stable and beautiful. Kind of Mac on pc.
You know Nostr is ready for the masses when you see facebook stuff on itโฆ.๐คญ text content with decontextualised pictures. ๐คญ๐คญ
It will reaches 90k in the next ATH, and one more time will catch some folks in a long trading trap because they will need to wait 2 or more years. So, in the 90kโs we will see massive sell of wales and the fish buying. Then the chart will repeat the same patterns again and new target will be near 180/200k
