Dogs x "Everybody gardens." Some bone from lands around here. Did the dog bring it home? Notice the stiching, sinew, sewing of this bone.

Dear Alby: @Alby For a backdrop, explanation, backgrounder,... of my setup and how i navigate Nostr. On Alby, using Alby Extension; i use Alby Extension as my go-to signer for web, browser-based, desktop Nostr surfing/clients: What is the connection, relationship, as well as the characteristics of--as far as dependencies, or what is the independent factor--between, of?: 1.) master key (please correct me if i am wrong, but is the master key an Alby-specific thing, or is it a feature of the Nostr protocol?); 2.) Nostr public key; 3.) Nostr private key; 4.) Imported, or randomly generated, Nostr key. What does it matter if it is imported or randomly generated? How do i make a very specific/certain npub mine and set things up so that i can use the extension to log in to various Nostr apps, clients and facilitate my Nostr life without increasing my attack surface and unnecessarily sharing my nsec??????? "You're currently using an imported or randomly generated Nostr key. Your Nostr private key cannot be restored by your recovery phrase, so remember to back up your Nostr private key separately." Related to this, how do i make my wanted npub a verified NIP... 5.) Nostr Address "You can use your lightning address as a Nostr Address (NIP-05) and allow people to easily find your Nostr profile.' What is the relationship between the nostr private key and the nostr public key? Is this at all similar to the thinking, logic, idea, reality,... behind that it is harder (impossiible; especially if we do not fall for the bullshit fear stories of quantum computing) to decrypt than to encrypt?! Am i correct in thinking that the public key is created as a result of the private key? Here is my goal: I want to set up Alby Extension on various browsers--as i have been having challenges with continuity and a basic, go-to working system of browsers--and not have to have things so complex and challenging for what seems to be no reason by making the independent variable--a very particular Nostr npub which i have been using and building social graph and reputatioin--however small--since autumn of 2024. Is it that so much to ask? Does it show anywhere in your Alby Extension Alby Guides (which seem very superficial, not detailed at all) or documentation how the mechanics works so i can comprehend (and find safety, trust or to be able to verify) that my private key remains mine and is not shared and unnecessarily plastered all over the Nostr world?! One of the messages i get, or the status in the Alby Extension settings or logging in to the Alby site (simple extension is what i use; no Hub or subscription for now--because so far i am not convinced; including that nobody showed up for a Alby "Community Call" today): "You're currently using an imported or randomly generated Nostr Key. Your Nostr private key cannot be restored by your recovery phrase." My executive summary. In my experience only, it seems like the process, onboarding, UX,... is UNNECCESSARILY complex and unclear. Not a complaint really as much as wondering what answers are, explanations of systems and how to be able to do (for me at least) simple things in an opening, beginning Nostr world. : : : : : : : Disappointed that the Alby "Community" Call didn't happen today as promised. It was a failure, an empty promise, dispite all the warnings, messages and calendar-approved notifications of this supposed upcoming event. : : : : : : : Thank you for hearing me out. Nothing against you and your great works. I am only looking for answers and seeking feedback.This is in no way a depreciation of what you have accomplished. It may be all errors and chaos happening on my own end! I WILL figure it out one day and laugh at my CURRENT challenges. : : : : : : : What is the essence of what a bunker is about. In the world of signers--Nostr signers--is as far as how/whether it provides sovereignty, is self custodial,... I noticed more friction with the bank the other day when the ATM didn't work : : : : : : : Pangaea I am also linking you @Daniella ✨ to this because, if i will sooner than later be able to figure out how to zap you, if any of your courses could address this i would be willing to zap you for some amount of capital investment, as you can see there would be demand--at least from me--to be able to eloquently or elegantly navigate and manage my keys (on Alby to start) so as to be able to dance around within the beautiful Nostr ecosystem without so much friction!

Hat's off, and a shout out, to Guy Swann, and, of, the Bitcoin Audible, for his beautiful, inspiring, empowering, ongoing work and continuity in gifting us with, and sharing about, freedom tech and other "bright spots" (i didn't coin this phrase; rather it is an invent of certain brothers who i don't remember their name!) in this new, slightly foreign and enigmatic world of modernity! Guy, you are the tireless proponent, gifted reader, speaker and host of such a gem of a creation. I like the way he--"The guy who has read more about Bitcoin than anybody else you know!"--differentiates, "forks", creates edges in, categorizes,... his podcst into chats, reads and Guy's take. : : : : : : : Specifically, i would like to highlight the Wormhole app which i found out about in the below-referenced recent Bitcoin Audible podcast episode. BitcoinAudible "Guy’s Take104 – The User Doesn’t Care About Your Mission

Guy’s Take_104 – The User Doesn’t Care About Your Mission – Bitcoin Audible

The biggest mistake Bitcoin and sovereignty-focused developers keep making is trying to sell people on why they care instead of building something ...

Though my experience using the Wormhole app is limited so far, i am pretty impressed. The speediness, brevity of downloading files--since i am used to a rather low-bandwith/througput internet connection: patched in via mobile service hotspotting--is mind-boggling! Just as shattering, is that one can set this up withOUT requiring centralisation, permissioned systems, fiction, layers, masks--these last three being used a bit more in a fluid, playful, exploring, vague sense. One thing to get used to, or design around/for (limitations can be good and help define things better, as, amoung others probably, is an important element of permaculture--see the fine works of co-originators David Holmgre and the late Bill Mollison) is the (relatively) short time the files (which YOU upload) are stored there. You also specify the amount of downloads. : : : : : : : To sweeten the offerings, i would also draw your attention to a bunch of other powerful (as in empowering) tech stacks and resources listed in the shownotes of this same episode... with links. : : : : : : : I also liked the main thread running through the episode which showed the beacon or keystone direction which the design of software, products should go in that the user is first and does not (necessarily) care or should not be forced to know, comprehend, support or care about the technology. Instead the focus is that the user, pleb gets to do what they need done. Anyways it is explained more eloquently in this podcast which i think was a presentation at some Bitcoin event. : : : : : : : Just so you know dear Guy Swann: my late uncle, my cousin and the middle name of my son, ALL share your same name: Guy! : : : : : : : Thank you. Merci. Gracias. Danke schoen. (#AskNostr: How do i do special characters in Nostr like "umlaut"?) Grazie. (Spelled by sound rather than necessarily accurate spelling.

A beautiful and amazing story full of courage and transformation. Ana was born twice into a monetary reset (once physically in the former Soviet Union as it collapsed/disintegrated, and then again when she moved to the USA at the time of the 2008 crash) which made her eventually, but more quickly than most (probably because of here own, her parents' and her grandparents' experience with currency evaporating in value overnight), see the value, premise behind, and need for, Bitcoin. Her story and journey reveals the importance of spirit and energy, and not dismissing it. As but one example, Anastasia cured herself of a growth on her arm by working through her issues and forgiving others through 7 days of writing it out, journaling using Susan Hay's method. I was pleasantly surprised and inspired of what can happen in the medical system of other countries, cultures and paradigms, like in this story where the nurse at the orphanage she was living at was the one who told her that the growth was a result of her anger, negativity or past trauma... and that it could be reversed and transformed. Probably more likely to happen via a nurse than a doctor wouldn't you say?! Ana turned out great with the help of an orphanage in Russia, where she spent about 12 years of her life--as this was a way she (and her sister) could be guaranteed food as well as other opporunities (e.g.: to walk around and see new things in the Siberian city in which the orphanage was located and to be able to use e-mail at a time when the internet was hardly available, at least to the public!). All of this was contrary--at least to me--to my preconceived ideas of what an orphanage is all about: my conception was that such a place and institution was largely negative. Opportunities and another exponential change occured when she was adopted by a family in the USA where her young brother--that she had only seen twice before--was already living and where she took on the great challenge of learning English. There seems to be a lot that can be learned of the degenerative and limiting experiences of people who lived during the former Soviet Union or other people who were under the boot of communism, socialism. There is much we can gain from the wisdom and the crappy experience of these folks so that we might be able to leap-frog or dampen our particular government's characteristics or desire to be like these communist systems. Efrat, thank you for setting up this beautiful interview, conversation, and for sharing it to the world.

Brilliant work. Though i don't comprehend much of it, this is some very deep work you have done here! So thank you. How to be as thorough on the sovereign ~ free ~ private ~ autonomous side of things as are the corporates ~ centralizers ~ controllers ~ fiat boys ~ govt's,... with all their different methods, strategies, attack vectors, roadblocking, obfuscation, NOT providing ample/varied public education,...! Your thoroughness is an inspiration for me to aim higher.

#asknostr How do i tag friends? How do i add hashtags, labels, tags...? How do i add spaces in my note publishing because up until now they do not translate between edit and post. I am (for now) using Primal.

Can anyone explain, or point me to a place that explains, why some posts or other communications in Nostr are displayed twice, thrice,...? I know it would be better with a lot more specifics, maybe having some kind of (debug) log, though i seem to remember coming upon this experience in different clients.

NOSTR newbie question. See photograph. Also, how do you post your own notes, as opposed to as a comment, or repost, on/of somebody else's 'profile', 'identity'--i am struggling to find words to describe things on this other social, technological, paradigm (Nostr) very foreign to me. Finally, how do you get those posts to go to a certain hashtag, like #nostr, #bitcoin, #permaculture, #coppicing,...? Thank you. Merci. Gracias. Dankeschön. Grazie.
