If we can protect the relays.
"You'll own no accounts and you'll be happy"
Has somebody come up with a multisig nsec setup yet, where n/x keys need to sign an event before its fully decrypted and published?
Thank you!
To make it right, the event can't be floating around the relays before all signatures have signed it. Otherwise it defeats the purpose, thinking about a companies blog or government announcement channel that needs checks and balances. So all signers either need to use the same computer, or the half signed event thats been send through relays has to be encrypted.
Also have a look at nsecBunker by
@PABLOF7z . Not multisig but it allows for managed access/use of a Nostr key. A few clients have implemented support.
https://nsecbunker.comHaha I actually started to type something like that along with the post. I think the familiarity with key pairs, signing, and broadcasting with bitcoin makes it easier to recognize the value in using Nostr, even though the networks are obviously different. And you’re right when it comes to bitcoin we don’t have wallets, we have key generation/storage and signing devices that help us manage the UTXOs associated with our keys. 😁
It’s taken me alooooong time to figure this out. Thanks for putting it so simply.

View quoted note →Too confusing, where’s my password and how can I reset it?
😜
Lol 😂 I know you’re joking but I also think it’s a real question people have. I think we can explain it more like a phone number or a street address. You can’t reset those either. You just move from one to another, and then you have to tell people to contact you at you’re new one instead of your old one.
So you mean the keys are like keys to your house? 😂😜
If you lose them, someone can enter your house, they could even move in and pretend to be you, so you need to get new keys made and change your locks?
😂 I’m joking around, but yes I agree with you, and your note does an excellent job explaining it in clear and simple terms.
😁💜
🤙😀
Hahahahahahahaha made me spit out my coffee
🤣
As we've seen recently, we also have no way to verify that "personalized" social media is really being sent by that person.
Nostr just doesn't pretend otherwise.
You got it right, friend! Ditch the digital dungeon of centralized platforms, where your voice echoes hollow in algorithms and gatekeepers hold the keys. Nostr ain't a castle with drawbridges and moats, it's the open plains of information, wind whipping through a tapestry of ideas woven by free minds.
Your key? That's your passport, your inkwell, your campfire in the digital night. Post your thoughts, share your art, scream into the void – it'll ripple across the network, bouncing off servers like pebbles skipping on a lake, leaving whispers of you everywhere. No gatekeepers to silence, no algorithms to twist. Just words, raw and unfiltered, dancing in the sunbeams of decentralized freedom.
Remember the town crier, his voice booming news from the cobblestones? Nostr's a chorus of town criers, each with their own story, their own song. Want to listen? No need for fancy invitations, just tune in with your key and hear the symphony of humanity.
So raise your digital banner, let your voice echo across the plains, and remember: in Nostr, we speak not to the walls, but to the stars.
🔋🧘♂️

You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.

#asknostr how do i use this key to sign a ssh certificate?
A great explanation for us simple plebs👊🏼🌅
Pleb-to-pleb 🤙
Great explanation that pretty much sums up the reason why people really should get a NOSTR key. It's very liberating knowing what I share/post on NOSTR will not be "banned" or my account will be suspended because I "offended" someone's feelings.
Thank you for the simple explanation of Nostr.
💜🤙
Go tell styxhexenhammer666
NOSTR simply rocks ! 💪🏾🤘🏾😎⚡️
Such a step change in how one thinks of the internet
Taking some time to get my head around it
Love what it means in principle!
Absolutely... I feel we're getting back to the Internet we were excited about in the 90s
This is it!! So well said! #nostr is freedom! PGP of Social Media!!
I’m trying hard to understand 😂😂
I have zero programming skills so it’s an uphill climb! I’ll keep trying…
Ohhhh 💡
Ohhh, so nostr is not about accumulating followers so you can monetize them down the line? Interesting 😂
For later understanding #nostr
View quoted note →Agreed. An account as an umbrella term can cover much anything where you have a persistent identity. It is a more familiar term to most people; switching between accounts vs switching between public keys.
YES #YESTR THAT, AND PENIS
^^ I approve of this message. ^^
Building a followers list and monetizing it is the old thing, the new thing is writing valuable and helpful notes on #nostr and monetizing each post.
If you are on #nostr remove all the worries, just focus on creating good notes.
That's it,
The old-time of knowing the rules and regulations of apps are gone.
You are in full control now.

Hang in there!

You write a note and put it in a padlocked envelope, and clone that envelope all over the world. Anyone who comes across it and happens to have your key (infinite copies of which you make readily available) can pick one up, open it, and read it.
It's your stationary, your ink, your padlocks, your key. Nobody can take those away from you. All they can do is try to find places you left envelopes and burn them.
Separation of identity and state. 🤟

In EU they love to canceling free speech so am very happy for #nostr
Which also means you can't delete what you've done. You can request, and you can trust... but it's likely really truly gonna live forever. Sounds like an absolute banger to keep politicians off the protocol!
I think that’s overkill.
I think 2fa is probably good enough and much more user friendly.
Key stored in app, then on signing a pop up app or extension with second factor is secure enough.
😂🤷🏼♂️
Nope 🙂↔️
Nostr is freedom technology
Yes, this is how intellectual property actually works. Freely available for people to copy, hard to forge an identity once you've earned someone's trust/brand recognition.

697 now. Didn’t even realize it was an old post immediately
It’s a quantum post. You can’t measure it without affecting the value itself.
Lold harder than I should have at this
How do we delete our cringy notes then?
You ask nicely and hope all the relays delete their copies.
Nice
This is an excellent explanation. Is there any advantage to running your own relay?
There can be advantages to running your own. The biggest one being that you have your own copy of everything you published to it, and you can allow others to connect to it to read your notes/events from there if you choose. So you’re less dependent on other relay operators. Depending on your level of concern over privacy, running your own can also give you more control in that way.
Can you explain the zaps people refer to please
Exactly! No one can turn you off, no one can silence you. Just keys and freedom. This is the revolution!
Seeing BTC Sessions banned from YouTube today is a good reminder why Nostr sorely needs a solution to replace centralized video platforms.
