Oddbean new post about login | logout when you come to nostr, you get a set of keys, one is private and one is public.... the problem is people are plugging their private key into all different clients and apps... this is a no-no so there are key signers or extensions that safeguard your keys and sign into clients and apps for you. All the newbies are told to go to Primal, Damus, or Amethyst. And they are creating accounts this way, which I think is bad news.
Which key signers do you use?
i use android and windows. On my cell phone I use Amber On my desk top I use Nostr Connect I believe. It would be nice if I could use one on all my devices. Now for apple and IOS, I heard there are things in development. And some options but I am not familiar yet with that.
Can you send me a link to Amber?
get the Nostr App store first, i downloaded the APK for zap.store and then once i had their app store on my android phone, i downloaded Amber through that... on the zap.store ... i believe you have to go to the github to get the apk, i think the download button didn't do anything.... That is the hardest part, trying to find the APK or get it downloaded, but once it's on your phone you call find what you need
I downloaded it and a few other clients last night before bed. Thanks! So, I can run my own relay through Citrine?
Yup!
Do you do that?
I can't figure it out yet. I tried and didnt know if I was using it correctly and then when I deleted it, I nuked my whole follow list, I think
