What do you think about the security vs convenience aspect?

I have a little nostr project for people who live in London who want to connect to their local communities (nearhood.co.uk), there I just generate nostr keys in a deterministic way using their device passkeys (so you’ll get the same account on your phone and desktop if you sync passkeys - or use a yubikey or something). Users don’t need to know what nostr is and they won’t forget their keys.

Downside of course is that they need to trust the website company not to steal their account by submitting the key to the server.. so there is a “trust” there..

but in theory this could perhaps be seen in the web console if one wanted to investigate it?

I definitely think we need to spread nostr by other means than just advertising the protocol itself. Even better if it’s being used without people having to know what it is!

Really love your work on here!

Nostr the protocol is so much more than a chat room of bitcoiners. We should make different things for different people (and tbh stop telling people nostr is underneath it - most people don’t care)

Suspect it’s mostly because it’s hard to get 😂 it’s really great meat!

Makes it less of a toy and more of a tool that actual businesses can use without giving staff members a manual on which terminal to give customers depending on their preferred mode of payment.

Well done, this is really cool!
