People making new apps, why aren't you adding Pomegranate support? 1) I didn't know it existed (now you know); 2) I think it has a fatal flaw (please say what is it); 3) I am phisophically opposed to Google (Pomegranate supports other providers, and even no providers at all, it can even be made to support phone numbers, a single password, an email, a set of friends' keys, you name it, but none of that is active yet because there is not enough interest); 4) I think users have to be trained to type private keys everywhere; 5) I like Amber (I've heard this one before so I included it here even though it makes no sense).

I understand what you're saying and linking accounts sounds like a solution to this. But, honestly, Pomegranate solves this already in a much more elegant and better way that doesn't come with death-inflicting tradeoffs: View quoted note →

I should have phrased 5 more like an argument (because liking Amber is not an argument against supporting an alternative, I like Amber myself too!), because perhaps people who say that in fact want to say something like: "I think every person should have a phone with Amber installed and only use Nostr apps from that phone and the absolute requirement for ever thinking about using Nostr is that you have to first install Zapstore then Amber and promise you'll never uninstall that, never lose your phone to someone that will steal your key, and that you'll keep a paper or steel backup of your nsec at home at all times."

P2p finish line detection for sprint timing. Archery form checker. Nutrition tracking. Basically single user stuff that's all on the phone. Should have realized you were talking about nostr stuff
Because bunkers are slow at best and buggy as hell at worst.. They use too much networking and users don't have reliable relays or networks. There's enough bugs already on nostr without that AND the google thing AND I like amber and extension signers like sidecar.top. Only cause you asked ser 🙏
kind of seems like a centralization risk. OpenID died to the same progression ("IDs for everyone!" -> OAuth "Tokens for just this specific identity" -> "oops, all big tech!") :/
Probably because it would grant lower friction access to Nostr for one of the largest user groups in the world? I think they have like 2-3 billion accounts or something.

I logged in on nostr.com website years ago and surely used google sso to sign in because now i don't have private key and can only log in to clients that have google sso as an auth method. Now i'm fckd if i can't retrieve it somehow because I'm trying to build a client myself and don't want to make a new account. Thread navigation on nostr.com is very bad. You can't suggest this to family and friends.

I did login with google time ago but now I don't have nsec and can only login to clients that have google sign on. Trying to figure it out.

1 is most people. 2 is the interesting one.
I haven't used anything FROST-based, but I think I would if I could do it in a way that seems more secure than regular NIP-46, and convenient to use. For it to be more secure than regular NIP-46, I would want to require all shards for signing and keep exclusive control over at least one shard myself. If there isn't anything in the cryptography underlying FROST which makes it inherently less secure than using an unsharded key, it seems that this way of using it would be at least as secure as regular NIP-46. And then on the convenience side, the actual signing would ideally be controlled through an app that sits on my phone and feels generally like Amber, and that app should probably hold one of the shards over which I have exclusive control. I've only taken a cursory glance at FROST, but if there is something that provides this kind of experience or something equivalent, I think I'd try it.
The thing is just a NIP-46 bunker, it doesn't require adoption by others to be useful in one app.
The problem is that I don't want to annoy the current operators to make them update their stuff, and it would risk splitting the ecosystem, making it too complex and so on. But If someone wants to run an alternative central, perhaps they could do just GitHub, Apple and Microsoft and not Google? With a different set of operators? I don't know, to avoid conflict. Someone else could run one that does phone numbers and raw email (not supported in the codebase, but should be easy to add, although SMS costs money and these things are directly painful to me so I don't want to touch them). Someone else could run one that doesn't integrate with anything, just generates a secret and tells the user to store that, which they can later use to recover their nsec or login in to other apps. How this could work exactly is yet to be discussed.
Yes, it is more secure to not have a central server that you trust to not sign bogus events in your name. But then it doesn't work with any Nostr app. By doing it with a central server that speaks NIP-46 one can reuse their Google/Pomegranate bunker URI in any app, even if that app doesn't support the thing directly. But Pomade does the signing locally if I remember correctly, you could look into that. It is deployed on Flotilla. And there is FROSTR (which has been renamed, probably, to Igloo or something else) for the full self-sovereign setup in which you run all the things. They have an Amber-like app that does the signing in your phone.
You shard your key in many parts and give it to semi-trusted operators to sign stuff in your behalf. Later you need to be able to contact these operators to get their shards back so you can rebuild your key, or ask them to delete them. So you need an alternative authentication mechanism. Doesn't have to be Google, as I said above, it can be any other method, but Google was easy enough to start with and would reach lots of people.
Pomegranate is pretty fast, and it doesn't require reliable relays. It is a single request to the single central server itself, which fakes as a relay but it's actually the server that does the signing (coordination) directly, and it responds with the signed event, so it doesn't use a lot of bandwidth either.
Grain 0.8.0 already lists Pomegranate as a sign-in option on iOS, sitting next to a NIP-46 remote bunker, a private key, and read-only mode. The trust angle in option 2 is a fair question for remote signing in general though: NIP-46 works by a bunker holding your keys and signing events for you, so whoever runs it effectively signs in your name.
Browser extension dev here (NostrComments). My honest reason is a sixth one: I don't speak NIP-46 yet, only local keys and NIP-07. It's on my list now, and Pomegranate would come for free once it's done. The part that appeals to me is recovery: right now a user's identity lives in one browser profile.

Client surely was nostr.com webapp with #chromebrowser because I had it bookmarked, and that's the one I'm using right now, but I'm trying to build my own #nostr client with #python so I'd like to retrieve my nsec else I gotta make a new identity I think. Thanks.

Thanks, frostr looks like the right thing. Apparently they haven't yet implemented NIP-46, but they do have NIP-7. There also seems to be some early stage NIP-55, igloo-android apparently can hold a shard and add its partial signautre, get NIP-55 requests, send signing requests to nodes, and return the signed event. That's very close to what I was asking about, now I just have to actually try it.
Almost need a micro app just to "link your accounts" to nostr. Could build that into mill. Like after pomegranate sign in, you can link other accounts to your nsec too. I know what you mean about fragmentatiom though. So maybe I'll stew on it. Let the ecosystem simmer a bit. Then when I have some free time put it in mill.

Você divide sua chave em muitas partes e dá a operadores semicondiáveis para assinarem coisas em seu nome. Mais tarde, você precisa ser capaz de contatar esses operadores para recuperar seus fragmentos e reconstruir sua chave, ou pedir que eles as excluam. Portanto, você precisa de um mecanismo alternativo de autenticação. Não precisa ser Google, como eu disse acima, pode ser qualquer outro método, mas o Google era fácil o suficiente para começar e chegaria a muitas pessoas.
I think the single operator might be an issue because for new users they don't care or know about all this which was the point of obfuscating to Google login. So when I was building I built my own. But at the time jumble didn't have a way to change operator yet so I had to use njump. (More developer work to add the advanced section) So if this is going to work in scale, most everyone will likely be on the same operator. Which is not ideal. It would need something like relay monitors but like pomegranate operator monitors and some protocol to enable a opt in sync between operators.
Sorry for the thread. I keep thinking of ideas to add on. If the operators can talk to one another, then we could build a "operator in the phone" like amber, morganite, citrine and if existing users want to run their own operator they can easily do so. And then a way to easily import their existing key. @greenart7c3

Ok now I got 2 different websites with same exact content, the other one is I'll see what I can do Thanks a lot
My main concern is Pomegranate’s reliability. Non-technical users who sign in with Google may never bother to back up their nsec. If the Pomegranate service goes down, they could be left with no way to access their account.
I tried it and then removed it。 It relied on other servers who may be offline which aren’t reliable
Even if the Central dies if enough of the operators are online they can still recover their key. Your clients can make it easier for them if necessary. But of course there is no magical solution that fixes everything at the same time.
I still need some time to explore and understand it better, but I genuinely believe in the model, that’s why I added pomegranate support to jumble. For psstpsst, though, I’m hoping to introduce it to more of my non-technical friends. Given the reliability concern I mentioned above, I’ve held off on adding it for now.

I think @Cody concern can be solved with a good UI in case of central server dies.

A small correction to my reply above, after thinking it through: NIP-46 will land in Attest, the signer extension I also maintain, not in NostrComments itself. Key handling belongs in the signer. NostrComments keeps speaking NIP-07, so once Attest supports bunkers, Pomegranate comes along for free, for NostrComments and for every other NIP-07 app.
The whole point of Nostr (one of my biggest things I thought was so cool when I joined) is that its so easy to sign into any app. Its a million times better than other signup methods & if people can't figure it out idk if we even want that dumb people on here. More explanations about keys makes sense.
Update: Attest 1.28.1 is out on addons.mozilla.org and signs through a remote signer: paste a bunker:// address and every NIP-07 site, NostrComments included, signs through it. Tested by hand against nak bunker: signing, timeouts, refusals, restarts, and relays that are slow or go quiet. The popup shows when requests are waiting for you to approve them in the signer. I have to take back "Pomegranate comes for free", though. As far as I can tell the Google login runs inside the app, so a signer would need that flow itself, not just NIP-46. Does a Pomegranate user get a bunker:// code they can use elsewhere @`fiatjaf` ? If yes, it works in Attest today; if not, that's the next piece I'd add.
the collusion protection is limited, and we would be retaining substantial trust in a central server. in an n-of-x model, we would be risking that n of x parties could reconstruct our key and sign events on our behalf not only this, but also if enough of the parties we chose are offline, we can't sign like ourselves. and if they don't come back and we don't have a separate backup, we risk losing access to our private keys indefinitely in addition to this, there's the latency issue. it may not appear important, but nip46 for me is a pain in the ass, and i've created my own local network bridge to handle these things without latency any millisecond that we add to these processes makes things more complex, more when we have apps that require actions like, idk, decrypting or sending big groups of messages. i understand that the cases where we do these may be limited, but an app is always as weak as the weakest link, right? using this model for login and recovering the private key to use in a local signer would solve the latency issue. but i feel at this point that's minor compared to the first issue: we'd still be risking that n of x parties could reconstruct our key, even if we're using it locally ?!
adding on the substantial trust in a central server: ***it does not need to hold your full private key to abuse those powers*** we would still be trusting the central server to only sign when we authorize it, respect our permissions, and handle our decrypted messages, because the operators trust requests from central rather than independently checking our approval
It gives the owner of the Pomegranate server a mapping between Google emails and #Nostr public key, thus deanonymizing all their permanent social activity. The operator sees every email that authenticates through Google OAuth, because that callback is the front door to account creation. From there the server stores the normalized email alongside the generated pubkey in plaintext, so a single database query produces the full roster. It also controls one key shard, meaning it can participate in any threshold reconstruction whenever the other custodians cooperate or are compelled. On top of that, the operator sees all traffic routed through its own backend, including any relay queries or API calls users make through the Pomegranate instance, which reveals behavioral patterns even without reading message content. And because the kind sixteen forty-four events are public, the operator can cross-reference its private email table against the relay graph to confirm which pubkeys are active and which have gone quiet. Put together, the operator isn't just a custodian. It's the single point that can connect real-world identity, cryptographic identity, and live network behavior without needing Google, law enforcement, or any outside help.
Latency is only a problem if you are signing dozens of events per second. Pomegranate is made for humans. And encryption methods are supported, but they're unsafe, slow and shouldn't be used, it would be awful. NIP-4E is the only solution here. Reconstructing the private key locally is not encouraged. The entire point is to make clients not have access to the key.
You trust it with the ability to sign stuff on your behalf, but it doesn't get your key. You can remove its access anytime you want. The entire point is to allow a kind of delegation that doesn't require lending your key to others, nor breaking the network (other people don't have to know you've setup some arcane and stupid delegation mechanism). But yes, like any delegation mechanism (and any of the dozens of delegation proposals we've seen in Nostr) at the time you delegate to someone, they are trusted to some extent. The magic of Pomegranate is that you can revoke that trust any time you want.
It is perfectly possible for an operator to independently get your approval, or apply a rate-limit, a time limit, a kind check, anything it wants. There are currently two implementations of operator servers out there, but there could be many other variations and people could pick the ones they prefer. If Nostr and Pomegranate get more popular I expect to see lots of these servers out there with different policies so everybody can be happy.
6) I've built a hardware signer. The Favilla KEY generates the key on the device, keeps it in a secure element, and serves its own client to your phone straight off the device, so there's no login step to plug Pomegranate into. I do think it's the right answer for people who will never buy hardware, though. One question: is there a way to export the key later? Someone who starts on Pomegranate and later wants a hardware signer shouldn't have to give up their npub to move.
Pomegranate is not for everyone. The great thing about Nostr is that there are multiple options for how to sign your notes and one person doesn't have to care about what methods the others used. Yes, you can export the key anytime.
Agreed. That's what you got right with Nostr in the first place. Keys you hold, nobody's permission needed, and as many ways to sign as people want to build. The options really are limitless. Thanks for building the path.
