Anyone know what relays npub.pro prefers? Getting errors for "Not enough relays received the event" 🤔 #asknostr

multisig nsec for nostr - something secure where an npub auth controls are distributed over multiple locations. Does this exist? Why not? How would this be developed? #asknostr

Bit of a rant here but nostr key management needs more attention. I really feel like we should be much better at this considering most of us are bitcoiners and understand the importance. Why don't we have most clients still not including bunkers or extensions on login? Why do we not have a thriving discussion around nsec protection? It seems revealing of serious issues in development. I've noticed this particularly on iOS. Until KeyChat entered the appstore we were pretty much reliant on NsecApp which had to be made into a PWA and hardly had any clients that integrated with it. The impression comes off that your identity is worth less than your money. Or the actual mocking I've seen from some who think non-technical folk who mess things up deserve what they get. Seriously, ftw! I know the majority of you have alts in fiat that you happily run back to but for some of us this is actually a space we want to build. What can we do to actually improve this area? Bitcoin has signers, cold storage, multi sig, seed plates... What is the nostr nsec equivalent for these? What's preventing it from happening here? #asknostr

What client best supports mute lists? I have yet to find one that can do this. #asknostr

When I first got on nostr in Feb 2023. There were few user guides, it was mostly desktop exclusive, and zap integration was still very early and largely gated through Alby. I loved the idea but it didn't feel accessable. However, a few months later I read this and was convinced that despite its early stage clunkiness, nostr was the most reasonable protocol for building digitally sovereign Islamic architechure. I still believe nostr is early, but I'm also convinced nostr is inevitable: "The first step towards establishing any type of Digital Sovereignty is to consider migration away from infrastructure and networks that are saturated with malevolent surveillance… there must be a simple recognition that anything sustainable from an Islamic perspective cannot be built on the platforms of Meta, Google or Amazon.” ~ @Ibn Maghreb

Here are some thoughs I have from musing over Eco's recent interview in Qawwam: "Muslim Twitter" culture on X is well known to be drama fueled. This is largely an algorithmically charged outcome and a deconstructive element of SM in general. Initial thoughts and experiences have been that nostr would be a space that could avoid this but with recent currents among some clients to mirror the fiat socials by introducing algo relays and trending feeds leads to major questions of intentionality. The whole gay porn spam drama from a few weeks back reads as a power consolidation move and shows nostr is not immune to manipulation. This is a key observation for those invested in this space. Those of us building on nostr need to focus on clarifying our aims and intentions. If we want a "SAIFnostr", here are some honest questions we need to ponder: Is the goal clear? How does nostr fit with it? What are the signs of success and how long should it take? Are we biased and mis-aligned? And perhaps most importantly, is this work reproducible and improvable? Much of the theory work has been done and if you're not up to date then head over to saif.systems There remains much work to do in action/becoming. We are not just talking about a digital hijra, but also the formation of network-state Neo-Taifas. I also think having conversations around these questions on nostr before any "mass adoption" is important. We have something inherently different on this protocol and I, for one, would love to see something beautiful form out of it. #staySAIF
