(would be an edit of above but I know some clients don't behave well on certain nostr features so they make me use comments, sorry!) The privacy/resistance score used by CreepJS is a great example of...

Definition of suspicious: "sometime who knows what's up and doesn't allow us to secretly surveil them and extort them for money"

Tbf, if they detected this and offered us a paid service without the trackers, that would be fine by me.

I think it would be hard to hit the market simply because the cost would be high at first.

Yeah, sort of. I'd use key splitting like seedXOR and Shamir's secret sharing scheme for distributed backups and recovery solutions.

Like as part of an inheritance thing where multiple people or locations can have part of the puzzle, so it is practically impossible to steal, but when your heir needs to use it, they do some treasure hunt and then never need to learn the nuances of collaborative signing or signing a transaction multiple times with different devices -- why force your inheritors straight into the deep end when they will probably just distribute funds to their own setups immediately anyway.

(Actually describing it as signing it multiple times sounds pretty good and easy to grasp).

good point. I will fix it in 8 hours

Yes, that's what's happening. They're finding a way to return that bitcoin safely to control of the 11/15 federation multisig (if they're honest). Which they could do immediately *if* the signatories didn't have infrastructure that automatically sends it out on any "valid" Liquid transaction that ha...

Auth and privacy Sometimes I see devs advocating for auth as a privacy feature. It isnโ€™t. In fact, is the opposite, authentication means that the user must be identified and verified. As far as I ...

Its a compromise. You trust a nostr relay to keep something from others on your behalf.

Best case, you only auth on your own server. That is pretty good privacy.

Encryption is obviously the peak, but some things can't be encrypted: metadata, access logs, maybe private messages that can't be encrypted for some reason.

That's the stuff you want auth for.

To be fair, most nostriches treat a relay's ability to perform AUTH as a signal that it is trustworthy. We should probably use some other metric for trustworthiness and culturally make it popular.

The only thing you lose is the deniability that a nostr post was sent to a relay by its author.

Yea, if it is your relay, there is no issue, but to understand the nuances of that an user needs a degree on nostr and stuff, and nobody really cares. Not even devs nor the nips kabbala
