There's a big difference between running an app on one's computer and running an app on one's computer 24/7. PLUS dealing with NAT is a huge pain in the ass. But seriously, why not just self host a r...

Youre arriving to pubky's design in your own argument ... it *is* just PKDNS pointing to websites (domains, or IP addresses, or wherever). Pubky protocol work is making sure that actually works, and works in a way that others can do it with you. It's more work than you realize, but yes, Pubky (and nostr) are just websites on servers... but that is not a useful framing if your goal is to refute Pubky, because Pubky (pk) domains are actually censorship-resistant at scale, whereas Nostr, and ICANN, are not.

To respect someone does not mean to trust and believe them. To respect someone means to engage with temh and try to understand what they believe. Ask me any question that is answered by pubky.org and...

Users only need to control their keys. They can use a trusted host for their data. If their host misbehaves, they can switch hosts or host themselves. Hosting yourself will be as easy as running an app your computer (still working on that being easy).

There's a big difference between running an app on one's computer and running an app on one's computer 24/7. PLUS dealing with NAT is a huge pain in the ass. But seriously, why not just self host a regular old website at that point? You get just as much freedom and control as Pubky, except the clie...

Hmnm. I think that's a bot. Since pubky users will be running their own servers and hosting their own content per outbox model, key loss isn't a huge issue, and besides there will be key rotation fea...

It's true that the only honest solutions for root-key rotation are going to all be shaped either as "backups i have somewhere else" or "here's a list of other keys I use if you need them" -- shamir social sharing is one way, but i think users wont like it.

Yeah, but doesn't the web have anti-phishing measures already? Isn't it already difficult or impossible to impersonate another web-host or to modify their webpage without permission? And I can host A...

You are still speaking very ignorantly about topics you seem to care about. Pubky.org is filled with good info, don't be scared to learn things yourself by reading. This method of passive-aggressively trying to poke holes in my answers is a waste of time if you don't even know what you are saying. Respect means trust, and you don't believe anything I say.

Yeah, but doesn't the web have anti-phishing measures already? Isn't it already difficult or impossible to impersonate another web-host or to modify their webpage without permission?
