Your nsec unlocks your identity. Protect it.


Practice safe nsecs


Don't trust. Verify.


Someone have to design condoms with this branding on


:Sigma:


You must be new here…
“Practice safe nSecs”

Get w/the lingo, grandpa 🤣


This line got a few laughs at Nostriga 🥹


True. but it is hard to protect something that you must enter into apps and websites to gains access to content.

a  better way need to be implemented where you can authenticate via offline signature signing and not have to enter the most critical part of your online identity into an app or website.

or maybe this does exist and i just don't know about it.🤷


Very important lesson here. You loose your key you loose your identy.
You loose a password you can change it.

I think it’s a good way of marketing the importance of protecting private keys.

We all slip up as we learn this system.


How to safely sign nostr events on smartphones? NsecBunker didn't work for me. Are there any other options?


Onward 🫡


I mainly meant logging into other apps/services with the same pair nsec+npub


They said that about my social security number too. Won't be long before every form needs your nsec. Want to improve you credit score? Just put your nsec here.


Can I use it as my username?


Uhhh… maybe your npub.


What is the best way to protect it? Asking for a friend 😳

Check out nostr:npub1am3ermkr250dywukzqnaug64cred3x5jht6f3kdhfp3h0rgtjlpqecxrv7 if you have an Android. And there’s always good ol nsec.app and nak. Choose your adventure. 🚀

Why would they need your nsec? Their software could just ask you to sign a nostr event which can be done without giving them your nsec.


I’m new to NOSTR but not to BTC.  Absolutely love what NOSTR represents…but seems like a serious implementation problem when I’ve needed to input my private key into different NOSTR apps.


More clients need to support this NIP.


You can... But it would be a horrible choice in doing so. I would not recommend it.


I use Amber. It's great for this.
