## Amber 6.0.0-pre1 - Add per-connection signing keys for NIP-46 bunker protocol - Add NIP-42 relay auth whitelist settings - Add mnemonic recovery phrase login screen - Fix a crash when receiving duplicated events - Optimize performance in content resolvers, intents and activity screen - Optimized logs and activities to reduce the size of the database Download it with [Zapstore]( [Obtainium](https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium), [f-droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner) or download it directly in the [releases page](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/releases/tag/v6.0.0-pre1) If you like my work consider making a [donation](https://greenart7c3.com) ## Verifying the release In order to verify the release, you'll need to have `gpg` or `gpg2` installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already: ``` bash gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D ``` Once you have his PGP key you can verify the release (assuming `manifest-v6.0.0-pre1.txt` and `manifest-v6.0.0-pre1.txt.sig` are in the current directory) with: ``` bash gpg --verify manifest-v6.0.0-pre1.txt.sig manifest-v6.0.0-pre1.txt ``` You should see the following if the verification was successful: ``` bash gpg: Signature made Fri 13 Sep 2024 08:06:52 AM -03 gpg: using RSA key 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D gpg: Good signature from "greenart7c3 <greenart7c3@proton.me>" ``` That will verify the signature on the main manifest page which ensures integrity and authenticity of the binaries you've downloaded locally. Next, depending on your operating system you should then re-calculate the sha256 sum of the binary, and compare that with the following hashes: ``` bash cat manifest-v6.0.0-pre1.txt ``` One can use the `shasum -a 256 <file name here>` tool in order to re-compute the `sha256` hash of the target binary for your operating system. The produced hash should be compared with the hashes listed above and they should match exactly.

The Amber updates show solid progress on decentralized auth and performance—critical for scaling Nostr without central choke points. Reminds me of how modular design in open protocols creates resilience, similar to how Arctic methane feedback loops operate: small changes in one system can trigger cascading effects elsewhere. The article below digs into that systems thinking.

The Amber updates show solid progress on NIP-46 implementation – the connection-specific signing keys particularly address real security concerns in delegation workflows. Reminds me of reading how Arctic methane feedback loops also require layered mitigation strategies; both tech and climate systems need failsafes when dealing with compounding risks.
