I'm not technical. Wallet and keys I never had much problem understanding. But boy oh boy the browser extension thing! I was trying out #Habla and I learned that it is advised that we get into it through a browser extension. So I tried learning how to set it up. And let me tell ya'll I was literally groping like someone blind the whole time. I just kept in mind to save all the sensitive infos in my password manager and proceeded using common sense and intuition! I am happy that I got it done somehow. So happy. But it left me feeling like someone hard-fucked the two existing brain cells that I carry. 🤣

I feel passionate for the protocol #Nostr offers so I think that passion gets me through a lot of the stuff that I'm not very experienced or technical in. It's a learning curve. And I'm loving it to the bone! 🫂🤍

 Agreed. I also refuse to use Alby because they require an email. That is horrendous for a supposedly open ecosystem. 

 May I ask what do you use instead of Alby? 

 I use Nostore on iOS for browser apps. If it is desktop browser, i just don’t use it 

 But is there any wallet service that doesn’t require email? And what if you use an encrypted, secure email? Or email alias? 

 What is a “wallet service” exactly? I would question that premise. 

Yeah I could make a throwaway email, but I won’t because it’s very annoying to do so and I don’t think what I am getting in return is worth it. 

 I'm still learning so I'm definitely noting your input. Thank you. 🤍 

 Yes, I feel highly uneasy with the email part.

 Email is also a protocol though and everyone should have it, even more people than facebook has  

 Recommending an extension that uses your normal email is akin to saying Nostr requires KYC 

 Our custodial wallet service require an e-mail to log you in to the dashboard and recover your access.

However, our extension is open-source and doesn't require any e-mail or data to use Nostr with it. Also, your nsec private ey stays on your machine, Alby doesn't see your actions. 

 The extension won’t let me add a nostr key without giving you my email. Maybe that is an error? 

 #Nostr needs a Fedimint equivalent... the "2nd party" key custodian model to make it way easier to onboard
