I’m not sure that there is anything to lose actually. I think it’s just things stored on relays with access gated to certain accounts. But even if they do lose it, nothing bad happens. So I wouldn’t classify it as a risk.

is that how you implemented horcrux? ^

> The risk is if your friends collaborate to put enough pieces of your key back together By definition, those would not be “friends” lol. And yes, if you’re a big target, all of your close contacts could be killed or robbed, one by one, like a hollywood movie. But that is certainly much harder than yourself being killed or robbed. So this point fails as well

No, you said that you give your key out. In SSS, you’re giving pieces of your key out. There’s no risk to it

Monero shows the real value of bitcoin. If it’s not used in Monero, then the usage on Bitcoin is pure theater and virtue signaling (which is exactly what zaps are)

Do you like REBOL ?

Nostr is the REBOL / Red-lang of decentralized networks. They both prefer a bunch of built-in types (“kinds”). Interesting philosophical choice. Where most languages have: "[email protected]" "https://example.com/foo" "2026-09-14" "$25.00" "192.168.1.1" "foo.txt" Red-lang and REBOL have: [email protected] ; email! https://example.com ; url! 14-Sep-2026 ; date! $25.00 ; money! 192.168.1.1 ; tuple! %foo.txt ; file!

This is too verbose and not as helpful as you think it is. In my experience, AI cannot write good onboarding copy, for hardly anything really. It just doesn’t understand the perspective of real users and what they will connect with.

I love the progress ! Can’t wait for iOS. I currently use delta chat, so I have some thoughts around that comparison. Vector has username mention notifications and chat groups with permissions like admin/mod right? Big improvement on delta chat if so! On DC, all accounts are basically unfindable if you don’t have the exact link for it. Great for family use cases especially. Is there a way to do this with Vector? Any thoughts on making the style/design of the app a bit more neutral? The gamer/hacker aesthetic is very alienating to a large userbase. Maybe just go more neutral or tone it down?

No, you break your key into a bunch of pieces and hand those pieces to trusted friends. When you need to recover your account, you request those pieces back. When you get a majority back, you get the key back. Shamir’s Secret Sharing

I would want horcrux (or any kind of account recovery) built in, ideally. Marking contacts to assist in account recovery belongs with contact management i think
