My final slide from my keynote today on the main stage in Nashville

Onwards! ✌️

Nostr nuked my following list, pls drop some 🧡 if we are friends

Random thought. What if we built Nostr clients that called public keys as usernames and private keys as passwords. They just need to be guided by the client to store that information in a secure place. That could be an easier onboarding experience for anyone who isn’t tech literate, or has little to no knowledge about public-key cryptography, decentralization, etc. They just want to use an app that solves some problem that they have in a familiar way, without needing to relearn their entire web or app browsing experience that they’ve been used to their entire life.

You don’t have the authority to constrain the use case of Nostr. Neither do I or anyone.
