 What hardware does nostr need built? 
 secp256k1 added to the secure enclave of all phones.  
 Or just use a protocol with a less wanky key algo. 
 Satoshi chose secp256k1 because he wanted to be "edgy". Shame on nostr to continue with the travesty. 
 One if those things from Ocarina of Time that spins around and shoots lasers from its eye 
 Phone sans LED 
 A good mobile phone without all the spying built in with a good Nostr UI 
 Open source phone that can run graphene or calyx. 

Not nostr specific, but this will be a freedom necessity sooner rather than later.  
 At that point might as well just run Linux. 
 Specifically talking about hardware here. Linux is software.  
 Do NOSTR signing devices exist? Team that up with a Sparrow type software to interact and post would be excellent. Though it would take a learning curve.

I have no clue. 
 Key management device solutions 
 They exist, I've seen them. But I forgot the name

 Compatibility with hardware wallets to sign some specific kind of notes; maybe news? Or to get your #nostr account check-verified and signed. 
 We made a fun way to share your npub in-person with the Nostrcard at @lasereyecards

 Nostr needs to work on the tens of millions of devices already built but destined for landfill. The world's poorer off will thank Nostr forever for liberating them. Sorry, you got caught up in my little hobby horse topic for the day!
