I'm still looking for a few more folks to help me out with this!

Hm we may need to coordinate async, the ephemeral messages are probably not a good fit.

I'm looking for a few people to help me test my social key backup tool for Nostr! Hoping to get at least 4 folks. I'm not going to actually back up my real key to you, I just want to run through the process with others and make sure it works for other people. You'll need python installed and some familiarity with the command line. If you'd be willing to help me out with this tomorrow please reply to this or send me a DM! And I'm considering creating a Nostr group for comms, lmk if there is a group chat tool you like.

No, backup is a big part of it but the real goal is to make key loss less catastrophic, and make identity a little more fluid.

I have! I think they have different goals even though we are using some similar cryptography.

I just completed a successful recovery of an nsec using my shamir's key sharing CLI. It's so satisfying as a programmer when you finally get your encryption and decryption code working together. The script is very basic, I'll probably rewrite it in Rust, but it proves out the core concept and gave me a lot of ideas about how to make this actually accessible to normal people and what other features and services would be nice to bundle with it. I'm still trying to come up with an umbrella term for this family of things (social key backup, social key migration, threshold-based consensus, etc.). The best I've come up with so far is "social keys" but I'm not sure if that makes sense. Does it makes sense to you?

That seems like an error in NIP-11. I have seen relays send AUTH at a lot of different times. Sometimes only certain actions are gated behind auth (like requesting content from a closed NIP-29 group).

Relatable. I've actually had this bug on a bank website before. They truncated my 20+ character password, I wonder if they were running Solaris somewhere in the background.

Also I submitted my first git PRs via Nostr yesterday, it was pretty easy with ngit and https://gitworkshop.dev!

I set up nak bunker on my home server in docker yesterday, so I finally have a Nostr signer running on my own hardware. If anyone is interested in the compose file it's short enough that I'm just going to paste it here: services: nak: build: . command: bunker --persist --sec your-nsec-here wss://nos.lol volumes: - docker/nak:/home/nakuser/.config restart: unless-stopped I haven't taken the time yet to figure out how to use ncryptsec or something to keep my nsec encrypted at rest, if someone figures out how to do that in docker lmk.

Testing publishing from my new remote signer.

Doesn't look like it. I will send again from Flotilla 😂😭

oh, nostrudel doesn't do NIP-17 yet? Is this why hasn't replied to my DMs?
