Say hello to Nstart, Nostr's onbarding tool! Nstart aims to guide new users to Nostr offering a easy and no-nonsense onboarding wizard, with useful hints about the protocol and some really exclusive features: - Easy local backup of your nsec or ncryptsec - Email yourself your ncryptsec, as additional backup location - Create a multi-signer bunker URL for Nostr Connect (more info below) - Auto follow the contacts list of some old and trusted Nostr users - Customize of contact suggestions, useful for onboarding friends & family Try Nstart live at https://start.njump.me or watch the video below to understand how it works. A note about the multi-signer bunker. This is really cool stuff made by @fiatjaf, that uses FROST to split your nsec in 3 (or more) and distribute each shard to an independent trusted remote signer. This will give you a bunker code that you can use to log in to many web, mobile and desktop apps without exposing your nsec. If you ever lose your bunker code, if the signers vanish from Earth, and it stops working, or if it gets stolen by a malware virus, you can use your nsec to create a new one and invalidate the old one.

Enjoy it and send back any feedback!

I am in the process of finalizing an onboarding tool, please point me to some npubs that publish excellent content in these areas: Art Business Cooking & cocktails Computer & Science Fashion & beauty Health & fitness History & geopolitics Hobbies & DIY Photography Spirituality Sport Video games Feel free to propose more categories. For Nostr and Bitcoin I already have what I need in abundance ;) If you have ready-made kind:30000 lists to share that is perfectly fine. Repost for visibility, thanks.

I just went to donate blood. In Italy it is quite common, you get a free breakfast (since you are not supposed to eat before donating) and a paid day off from work. How does it work in other countries?

Still don't have a space-efficient personal relay? I just released Chronicle v0.3, which offers a personal media server powered by Blossom 🌸 In this version you can also find an option to whitelist notes or DMs by PoW. You can find all infos in the repo's readme:

I opened my first gitworkshop.dev issue using the web interface and after few minutes I received a reply by @PABLOF7z on Gossip, and shortly after a reaction by @Niel Liesmons: for a moment I was sincerely surprised, I didn't expect it, it's crazy how well “the other stuff” is fitting into place, this makes Nostr a unique tech, zero competitors.

Question for devs: after querying a relay, do you check that the results you are going to use actually match the original filter? Or do you blindly trust the relays? @hodlbod @Mike Dilger ☑️ @dluvian @PABLOF7z @Vitor Pamplona @jb55 @YakiHonne @Kieran @miljan @Fabian @calvadev⚡️

"Bunker URL" vs "Nostr Connect" Currently apps use these two definitions for NIP-46 login, I think it's important to create a standard for this login, as it is likely to be one of the most widely used. The latter seems the more logical choice because it is descriptive and carries the Nostr brand, but the word “bunker” has a charming, perhaps more distinctive and memorable feel to it. Of course we can also mix the two, e.g.: Login with your Nostr account => Enter your Bunker code What do you think?

Lately my eyesight has been getting worse, it would be nice to have a Nostr client that would allow you to set larger fonts, maybe bold, why not even colored.
