Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

How many of you #monero #xmr people run their own node? over tor? secure the network? utilize it for payments? use other cryptography utilities like pgp/gpg? learn as much as you can about good #privacy practices? not get bogged into divisive politics and is more embracing of difference? also not be obsessed with line go up tunnel vision?

yes! I personally like feather wallet because it is lightweight and I just run a node on an old raspberry pi

Count me in. Also I am huge advocate for Bitcoin, Monero and opensource privacy tech in general. I won't let my friends and family suffer from bad tech.

good stuff. the internet is an inherently non-private space, but it can be! It's about building the good practices and knowledge for interfacing properly and in line with important human and community rights.

I just recently created a pgp key on an offline tails with kleopatra. But what to do with it now?

many purposes. sending an encrypted message to someone else or receiving one from someone else, or signing a non-encrypted message. for example you can sign a non-encrypted text with your email, nostr public key, whatever [username] on [whatever service] that way through the history of usage it's easy to be connected in a sea of anonymity.

Just created it out curiosity. Thanks for the examples. I surely have to learn how to actually use it.

For instance see this as an example of a signed message. You then copy paste that including the pgp signature into kleopatra to verify its indeed from that fingerprint.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Using PGP is a great way to build up a cryptographically verified identity that can be pieced together by examining the history of usage, and cross referenced across sites and platforms. One could obviously also use their current nostr address or crypto address to sign and prove some kind of identity. This identity can only really be verified and trusted across time and space. Let the history of usage speak for itself: xmr: 84toQ6zQ1ncNL4pFhRD7Y3EWYaTABTuYni3tjD6SgVgBM5fmaMRap91BpzWKmrsUp4CP6bL6WNFkgQQaxxrAKt6qFw49Q4B nostr: @👻 username on x: absolutespectre and it's a great idea to have some kind of reference to work on. here are some references: https://x.com/absolutespectre/status/1966873935938834469 https://x.com/absolutespectre/status/1982085353335865458 https://x.com/absolutespectre/status/1966716253118050347 https://x.com/absolutespectre/status/1977721085945655676 Another who has verified, and this helps further with cross referencing: https://x.com/themerit0crat/status/1982090862453518596 View quoted note → -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEEyybeq0cYSHmub5HYXVDKDflJAAFAmj9O0cACgkQYXVDKDfl JAAaIRAAz8N4THT8/Pt7nuaLmPiIKJlfBU+PJiLmt4RHfccoLSFJDQt/LHBWXTZq 9B5UqV+8KxgPA8uU3d1xu5gPwdZKvqt2eTG3dCmGoiz/wbNwtQ7wtMTTru2uY/Wl Pv+1wQQlbUDi5XdFb12up1UFPa6gnWWEZJn06O0nRZeUsr6HmrMfgbJRcjrhky5F H0O91pFp7fBZo3aG+NH4DXEW0lhmW4gjPzZ7RVEsVlWDcHGMblKsmTNhGwUdLi3S NQ6ufEQiy2DCWXQCcX8Zmc2hiU7jpM+QwJUk+3a4YKb3lhpfbNNSO+cfrVVFCC3l ilnhpvj/skFgoIGiE7pxMQRAnOnCy5RTm1QjUaaXKZi4iY+NnIL90Yf6pjxYkL9H QbiF06y4ACAPb8ZQzmglF0AXJOF80hvy0MXQAcI6UHKVlHWysoyZoY9scT0D1JgX P7XL3DLSC5hnWotRNohJ7Ie+Ck0edbVuLYaya7EFCFYdjSUg6Xduiw5CRIH3FLwi anNb0WiAoDEKSPWwBovmYhbRsOvZyVPtM9rWm5MzojDJ2IrEaTkcio9/7mEUIO8g YsdIIziXRyBA1/q7UCXgHmLBv/ycrVWghiszWisuQHG3F7MlDHCUi23OiPE9FXDo a9d33+2klAUmBM3wRsfg7MA9XWGScNkI0C+htHpMJOzDEd6n1NY= =yosN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Thanks for the example. One follow up question. Does this mean I have to have my keys online? I assumed you sign things with the private key.

No. You can use your keys offline and sign and encrypt offline.

Encrypt your files, or stack a double encryption mode - pgp+7zip password - Get a yubikey and use it with pgp and 2 factor authentication. Make a wot party 😹

I think I'll try single encryption first before I start the party. But I could, have two yubikeys laying in my desk😂

This is great, thanks for sharing. Just took a quick look and I think this is what I need. Much appreciated. 🤝

Let's see how many of those I check. 1. I do run my own node. 2. Over the Tor network. 3. Mining to P2pool nano 4. I'm kind of militant about buying everything I possibly can, priced directly in Monero. 5. Somewhat understand GPG, at least as far as verifying hashes and stuff now. 6. Love learning about new privacy tech. 7. Try not to get involved with politics for the most part. Although I guess sometimes I could be better about it. 8. Am anti-moonboy. Xenu would be proud. #Monero
