How To Get Started With Nostr 

not sure if nostr has changed a little but i seem to have two public keys and 1 private key ??? not sure which one to copy and paste

i have this warning too on alby??????? >>>>>> You're currently using an imported or randomly generated Nostr key.

Hi John! Great question. I don't think there's a solution for this yet. When I used Damus I had to put in my private key, which isn't ideal. I also wonder how Damus is storing that for me, whether it's local or on their database. I'm not sure.

Overtime I'm sure there will be better solutions. I already read this week that there is work to secure private keys on a Ledger.

I don't know too much about nostr at this stage but in crypto generally I back up keys or recovery phrases in the cloud after first encrypting them locally.

I've just learned about this 'Nostr' idea an hour ago or so. First up, there's no way you should trusting any application with your private key, who owns 'Alby'? Then this 'Damus' appears, liked and funded by the same totalitarian scum who run 'Twitter' and your giving these anti-free speech pigs a copy of your private key? Utter madness. As soon as you learn that 'Damus' is funded by high-ranking 'Twitter' employees you ditch it instantly.

Yes, I believe thats your only answer. To make a new account. I'm not sure migration is possible. Losing your private key would be like losing your email password. Only you can't change it.

Also thank you

Yeah, I think there's a problem with nostr.directory's Twitter API. Twitter apparently upgraded their API recently and it causes some problems.

haha, welcome!
