 Sigh.

Thankfully we have Bitcoin and Nostr.

 Thankfully we have each other. 😊

 Every day I’m turning more and more into a nostr maximalist… I hate Twitter, it only feeds me negativity 
 open protocols for the win. 
 It's great being here my brother  
 Hey Jon. I have some bad news. You entered your Nostr private key into your Nostr address field. A Nostr address is like an email address. It's not your private key. You've accidentally given the world access to your profile. Sadly the client that your using doesn't do any sort of field validation to stop this from accidentally happening. What can you do? You have to create a brand new set of keys and start over. I'm sorry this happened. 
 Crap, that's bad. I was hoping it was some other nsec. 😢 
 A handful of people do this. I see someone every couple of weeks. 😭 
 Ugh. Reminds me of BTC private key days.
