 Absolutely. Using a centralized client like ZBD effectively means your nsec could be handed over to the state on demand.

 I still wonder why some people prefer to use a centralized client?! In the past, with the bird app and other services, we didn't have the option for decentralized option...And now that we have this freedom to use a centralized client 🤦‍♂️🤌

 Why did ZBD go this route?

 @andre helped get the first paid relays on #nostr so I’ll give benefit of the doubt but I don’t understand what the logic is? 

Is it maybe an abstraction so Users can rotate passwords which nostr keypairs don’t allow?

 They wanted to create a nerfed, walled garden experience. But the really shady thing they did was when you created your account, they provided an option to input an existing nsec or make a new one. Thankfully, I opted to make a new one to try it out. If I had actually given them my npub, they would have held a copy of it on their servers. There is no evidence they’re only storing that locally on the device.

 Meant to say nsec the second time but you get the point.

 Is it just a walled chat app for their gamers? 

Not pasting my nsec anywhere, need devs to integrate with keystores so ppl aren’t getting rugged. Rugged users will be bad for adoption.

BTW I love that I can zap for helpful info like this, paying for you to take the time to fill me in. Such a great usecase!
