CONNECT, KEY MANAGEMENT, WALLETS, RELAYS

The second meeting was about how to customize and connect the #NOSTR for yourself, what tools are available for this today. We also tried to dive into the protocol architecture level to understand how everything works, namely how our date is stored in the #protocol

- we discussed “How to setup NIP5 verification using Github Pages” as a guide to creating your own (independent) nostr address. Thanks to @NVK  for this
- Considered @Alby  tools for connecting @NWC  to - clients
- looked at methods of how to store your keys securely and not share your private key, namely nos2x https://github.com/fiatjaf/nos2x Thanks to @fiatjaf  for the solution

then we moved on to more difficult (from the technical side) topics, such as: 
- how our date is stored in the protocol. We recommend everyone to see how the protocol works:

also thanks to @Voltage  for a good article description https://www.voltage.cloud/blog/understanding-nostr-data-storage-relays-and-decentralization

Next, we talked about the #relays , discussed what they are and what they can do, and how they can be launched and configured:
