Plan feels like it's coming together on the #wisp psyop The normies aren't actually logging in with Apple or Google... Apple and Google store an encrypted (with a pin) backup of their nsec. Probably similar to what a lot of us do in password managers. Google and apple can't see it. It just feels like a traditional login. If Google or Apple bans them, the nsec still works. If they decide Google and apple suck they can take their nsec to any app, start using a signer, make a new nsec and so on They think they have dollars in their wallets. Another psyop. It's really just bitcoin converted to their local currency. They think they're just on a fun app to post memes and send pennies. It's not, it's NOSTR and the last bastion of free speech on the Internet.

Answered my questions that I went to GH to read (hence my previous comments). Smart move. Don’t make me think for normies!

Who are these normies of which you speak? What line of demarcation exists to strike separation between normies and .. not normies? Do you mean users vs developers? If so then I’m afraid a normie shall I ever be and a normie shall I remain. I’m perhaps doomed, as the rest of the normies to perambulate about breathing in clouds of my own dandruff and doing only normie things and thinking only normie thoughts. Alas I’ve only ever aspired to rise above this normie class.. to break free.. to be someone!
All this freedom tech for normies is going to turn me into a normie again but in a good way

"The normies aren't actually logging in with Apple or Google..." - give it more time, wisp is not a lead magnet, just removes some obstacles. Also, I don't think making power users angry helps. They are niche, but their word matters. It's good to have them on your side to help with adoption. Anyway, once obstacles are removed, we need lead magnets. Nostr itself is one that will trump when the hard time comes, but something else in the meantime would be nice to have too.
Are you doing surveys? How do you get the data points and their reasons? I don't have any Gulag or Apple account... And I am in GrapheneOS... I think normies should for their smartphos, ib one minute get out of BigTech cloud into a NextCloud provider. Get a trustful password vault like bitwarden or keepass. And the next minute have stuff like Nostr backed up in the NextCloud... That's what I would tell granny to do on the tablet... As I state in the Futuristic vision, we should be standard for them to follow, but aggregate their data until we win the race... Implementing their ID is the other way around... Instead of prison breaking people you are making them keep that prison ID to come here... Why?! It should be them implementing npub/nsec standard for people to see their stuff with our ID system...
That is cool! Thank you for adding sign in with Google. It makes it easier for me to use wisp. I'll check the cashapp Bitcoin tab then. Thank you!
