 Introducing accelerated Instant Backups, brought to you by @semisol

If you want your backup instantly, literally lightning-fast, you can use this:

Thank him for this. 
 On my profile, normal version takes approximately 18 minutes, while it takes 5 sec. 
 Btw, he is not alone. Countless other devs are also working on it.

 You're the best πŸ€œπŸ€› 
 It will even get better after Nostrdb. That will solve lot of problems, much better experience 
 It is a local database specifically designed for nostr applications, it uses strfry technology, same as most of the advanced relays are using. 
 Accelerated instant backups will go live today. 

It will be a first, but significant step toward giving users full control over their data, rather than relying entirely on relays. @semisol πŸ€œπŸ€› 
 Her: He must be cheating on me.

Man: Splitting the continents πŸ’€

 Got it, thank you. NostrNet PWA already have extension support, so I think I should start implementing this on my NostrNet TWA (APK).

 Gm Karnage, have a wonderful day & I agree with you! 
 The new backup service will be lightning-fast, eliminating the need to wait. 

We will also store your files for you, allowing you to broadcast them whenever you want. 

It can't get any better, and it's coming very soon. @semisol  πŸ€œπŸ€› nostr:note1xf5t25jmalcnxwqpj6jgd2gge32gdx9syvwm36fqjxv5qtf5zw6skcpkml 
 You will own nothing except your Bitcoins in a hardware wallet. 

You don't own your property; you don't own your fiat savings. It's all owned and controlled by the state.

 Introducing reusable lightning vouchers.

Now you can create your own, but remember it's not ready yet. I will launch the beta version very soon.

Vouchers: https://voucher.nostrnet.work/

Btw, the voucher in this screenshot can be redeemed by 20 users, each getting 100 sats, with a 30-second interval between each redeem.

 I am working on web of trust, it will take some time. 
 I don't want to spoil it; something very interesting is coming. 

You will never lose your data after that, Never. We will solve this problem once and for all, @semisol πŸ€œπŸ€› 
 No more relying on relays for your data. 
 Yes, data auto-backup, data migration between relays, data monitoring on relays, and moreβ€”all automated. πŸ€œπŸ€› 
 Lightning voucher services are almost ready.

Btw, the voucher in this screenshot is working. 

Twenty people can redeem 100 sats every 30 seconds.

 It has 30 second intervals, maybe someone just withdrew. 
 πŸ€” 
 You can even make them smart by providing them with this QR code and setting a one-month interval. 

This way, they will be able to scan it every month to receive their salary, and you can keep customizing it.

I will post some more later

 It's a bit saddening to remove the eden.nostr.land relay from my relay list, but I'll always have... 
 Any reason for that, isn't it subscription based now. 
 Ok, open this in browser, enter your public key and click on broadcast, minimise the browser and keep using your phone. It will keep running in the background.

When fetching is done, it will ask for download permission, Allow. It will download the copy. Don’t broadcast for now. Most relay spam filter blocks it. We are too early. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ nostr:note1xf5t25jmalcnxwqpj6jgd2gge32gdx9syvwm36fqjxv5qtf5zw6skcpkml 
 I mean you will see all the numbers how many events it is downloading from which relays and how many it was able to broadcast.

This simple application also tells you were your data is really stored.

 If you've been here for a while, and have created a lot of notes, remember that relays will delete old notes. 

To keep them, use my Backup service to download copy of them, you will be able to restore them later, it also updates your notes everywhere. 

Backup everything: https://nostryfied.online 
 It is coming in my note extension I recently built for NostrNet 
 Deletion is not guaranteed, it depends on each relay. They can even deleted from relay and keep it offline. So don't rely on that. 
 It's a pleasure my friend πŸ€πŸ•ŠοΈ 
 Your keys, your notes; only you can post, and only you can read your DMs because they are encrypted. 

However, whatever you post publicly is public data and is available to everyone, it open protocol. 

You can download copy of them and broadcast it to some other relay. 
 So, basically, the goal is that you should never have to worry about these things. 

Some developments are happening in the NostrDB (database) space and elsewhere. All these backups will be automated after that. 

But yeah, it's nice to know what's happening under the hood. πŸ˜‚ 
 It uses public key to fetch these events. That's already public data. 
 It's a pleasure 🫑 
 This is the way πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ 
 It will backup everything, you can restore it later. We are automating it very soon. 
 We need to transition away from direct private key login. It's not only insecure and bad for onboarding experience, but it is also a bottleneck to this protocols development.

The majority of the web ecosystem is declining because a large percentage of people either don't understand what extensions are or haven't set them up.

No one is building native apps because they know that no one will use the app's private key for login.

Soon, there could be a security exploit, and keys may be leaked, resulting in headlines like "Nostr got hacked," and that will always stay with nostr.

All major clients must reach a consensus to establish a standard for disposable secondary keys.

How is this not a priority? 
 I have stopped using any new native clients; I am just not comfortable entering my private key into some random client. 

On the web, we at least have extensions, which too set a high bar for most people. 
 Every centralized company is obligated to share any user info with the government in every country that has any kind of terrorism and CP laws. 

The moment you give up your nsec custody, you are opening an irreversible backdoor to your account; 

It's not my opinion, It's a fact. 
 Yeah, DM, and I mean they can just leak the key, and you won't have an account anymore. 
 Relay don't have access to your private key. 
 I mean they would have to knock on your door, and there would be at least some kind of fight. 

If you give up your nsec, you wouldn't even know, and someone will be reading your DMs. 
 But the only problem is even if I leave them they will still have my keys.

 The only difference is you can't unwrap them in case of nostr, you are trusting them for forever.  
 How do you know they will not keep it in their servers? It's like me saying, send me your key I will delete it later. 
 In the next update, every NostrNet user will get a LnBits wallet.

I want to offer some cool lightning-related features that are not possible with regular wallets. like Paywalls, Marketplace, split-payment & more

Btw, you will be able to manage that LnBits wallet through your Zeus.

You will also be able to attach your node and self-hosted Lnbits.

 Yeah, it drains quickly πŸ˜‚. You can set the intervals between each withdrawal, specify maximum and minimum amounts, and determine the number of withdrawals.

 If any client takes custody of a user's private key, it deserves backlash. It's the worst kind of trust model; it's irreversible, and you're trusting them forever.

Imagine storing your sats in WoS once, and they gain the power to withdraw any amount of Bitcoin from your wallet for forever, whether you use it or not.

 Just logging in once to ZBD is essentially creating a backdoor to your account forever. 

You wouldn't even know, and your messages could be decrypted because some government agency requested it from ZBD, not to mention the potential accidents. 

And it's irreversible, I don't understand why this is even a debate. 
 It is not in the best interest of people and the nostr as a whole.
