crazy it's actually gotten worse in the last year

I have been using Nostr for two years now, and the lack of a NIP-09 (event delete) or its equivalent standard on Nostr is, more than ever, a significant privacy and safety issue built into the current version of the protocol.

Snowden warned us of the dangers of a permanent record. Have we not learned anything?

Nostr, as it is right now, is a permanent record that seeks to tie all of your apps and your coin transactions to one key pair.

If that key pair is ever compromised, EVERYTHING is compromised.

If you accidentally doxx yourself, you are HOSED.

It's bad OPSEC. And it sounds like a honeypot waiting to happen.

Amber (event signer) is a decent workaround, but it has not passed a third-party security audit, and I still believe a parent/child key system is the way to go as it does not expand your attack surface by having to depend on a third party to keep all of your Nostr business safe.

Now back to event deletion...

The protocol is the protocol. Relays must use the protocol to participate in the network.

If the protocol requires honoring event deletion requests to participate in the network, then Nostr will have avoided this festering security and safety issue.

If certain #Nostr devs don't stop saying universal post deletes can't happen because of xyz (insert biased limiting belief/excuse here), and start figuring out how it can be done... it's a protocol design that's dead in the water to anything but mostly nameless, faceless anons.

The future is privacy-first, client-side computing, not relays. The clock is ticking.

Hey Jason, good question!

Exposing your nsec with various Nostr clients might expose your keys to a risk of doxxing it and you need to trust all of them.

Alby is an open-source app (so you can see what happens with the keys) that runs in your browser, signs nostr events offline and then uses Nostr with your nsec without ever sending the key through the web.

Anyone had any luck getting their Alby wallet to work in the iOS Primal app? Works fine in browser but shows 0 sats in app, so can’t zap.

Testing zaps ⚡️ on #primal sending ⚡️ to my notes from my friend’s #Nostr but not seeing it in primal wallet! Could reason would be I created my nsec on Damus ? My Damus nostr attached to alby too! #Asknostr

Does anyone plan on watching the summer Olympics? Just curious to know

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

semi related I saw this post yesterday and found out backing up nostr is a thing, then last night by pure chance my profile/following got nuked but I backed up yesterday on a whim so was able to recover
