A minor update just rolled out, updating the profile creation flow to show the new standard format (nsec) for private keys. Login accepts both new and old formats (but you really should use an extension). Some libraries got updated, which required a few code tweaks. Reach out if you notice anything not working as it should. Next up is implementation of a dedicated Nosta relay to provide reliable storage and retrieval of basic profile info. Goal is to speed up site load times and reduce "profile not found" situations.

Should Nosta profiles show your Cashu wallet (the balance would only be shown to you)? Or the Cashu mints that someone uses, which could be helpful for discovery?

There's now a dedicated screen for editing your relays on Nosta ( this first version is likely too complicated). You can see various statistics for the connection, so you can make a good decision on whether to keep or remove a relay. Quite a few relays have silently disappeared. This is invisible to users, but does affect them. Ideally, clients can automatically help connect to reliable relays that work best for how someone interacts across the network. Not an easy task to solve. It will take some iteration to get it right, and the features related to this on Nosta will likely be a bit of a construction site for some time.

It may happen that there are different versions of your profile, follow list, or relay list are out there. On Nosta, you can now easily clean up by republish the version you prefer. Go to your profile, click the "...", then "View profile data". There's a bunch of new functionality in Nosta right now and the code may not be 100% solid yet. Better to get it out a little early and iterate. Please share your feedback so we can fix things up pronto.

You can now follow others on Nosta profiles. Just press that "Follow" button. Or press "Following" if you don't want to follow them anymore. Up to you. Heads up, this is new functionality with lots of new background logic. It may not work properly. But more testing is going to happen the next few days and it will solidify (fingers crossed). There are some follow-up features planned. Like showing which people you and the person whose profile you're looking at have in common. But first, time to test and solidify. Your patience during this time is appreciated. Stay magical.

Nosta now has tracking (GDPR compliant, no fingerprinting, no cookie banners), and the dashboard is public if you're curious. Reason is to get a rough sense for how it's being used (and if anyone even uses it) to improve the experience.

A nasty bug that sent you to a broken page when trying to access your profile should be fixed now. Reach out if you still encounter it.

The site should load much snappier now due to an improvement on how image assets are being loaded. Let us know if you come across any issues.
