 i knew there was something suspect about pubky

the name alone puts me off, personally... but if it's basically just rebranded keet then sorry #notsorry it's not going anywhere

it also reminds me once again about how important auth and paid relays are for privacy on nostr, and getting messaging working will be a huge boon for adoption

alby opening up signup is a big booster for nostr as well, because being able to streamline the key management and lightning in one little tool is critical for enabling payng for relays, which is critical for actual privacy... tooling to streamline deploying private relays like what cloudfodder does with relay.tools is also a big part of how we win

 Its rebranded slashtags but at the end of the day they are all funded by bfx/tether. Nostr surpassed them long ago imo 
 Who funds nostr? And what is their reputation? 
 Pubky has absolutely nothing to do with Keet, this is just sloppy associative ignorant hater talk, cmon...

Learn what it is, or dont, but the people that actually look into it like it.
