 Noobie question from me - Fountain connects to Nostr with private key. Is that a wise thing to enter on another app ? 
 I don't think it is.  
 Yep seems odd but guess it needs permission to connect all profile which npub can’t do. 
 Well, yes. I meant that it is not a good idea to plug your nsec directly in to the app.  
 Yep 
 It seems figuring out extensions could be useful?  
 That doesn’t relate to Fountain podcast linking to Nostr nsec though 
 I don’t think entering your private keys anywhere is a good idea, but I’m not familiar with Fountain. 
 Haha my dogs name is Sandy 
 Great name 🤙 
 It’s actually Sandy Beach 🏖️ 😁 
 I wondered the same damn thing when I installed fountain yesterday. 
 I don’t need to do it, just thought it’s strange to ask for private key. But i could be being daft. 
 I keep everything separate 

My nsec has never been anywhere but paper  
 Yep but check out fountain. It says to connect Nostr with it via nsec. Am i missing something? Cross app connectivity is great idea but is this the best way ? 
 For me as hardcore nostr user this isnt the way 

I want my account to be a throw away account at all times not tide to any other app that requires email  
 It only requires nsec to link profile, no email 
 But when you first made a fountain account it was with an email  
 True true 
 My nostr account isnt even linked to my minibits wallet
