Oddbean new post about | logout
 just FYI - I tried to sign up on Flare with both Chrome and Brave on mobile, and neither worked.

Infinite loading here. Maybe I need to associate my NPUB with another flare account first? Either way UX doesn't make it too clear and can't get account creation via email or password working either...

 Ok, yeah I think I see the issue. Is this npub part of an nsecbunker? 
 I have no idea what that is... My NPUB was created through a client when I made it (Amethyst) 
 Yeah, so in this case you would not be able to log in with nsecbunker unless you choose to add your existing keys to a bunker. 

I should definetly make this more clear 😅. Totally understand the confusion 
 What is an "nsecbunker" and can you link me to a place that explains what that is? 

Imo for mainstream adoption, it probably should be as easy enough to register with an NPUB and a custom password, or login with an NSEC... 
 Here's the github https://github.com/kind-0/nsecbunkerd
We should probably have a podcast episode that does a deep-dive though to help explain things @hodlbod 👀 
 I have never downloaded or used a GitHub repository and I don't think today's the day I do 😂

If the goal is to make Flare a decentralized video hosting platform, please make this accessible/usable for the 80 IQ plebs 🙏 
 Making onboaring better is my top priority at the moment. I think that the nsecbunker flow is a big step forward, but we clearly still have a long way to go 🫡 
 Yeah bunkers are highly technical right now. Getting better all the time though. nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejuamfdchsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qqspwut66nfqu2jztndq5gv4vf9q5jnncnmfwhckk9vnljrl53hj6kq3n40ps  I absolutely want to have you on soon, once my voice comes back
