For #MarchOffTwitter let people know where you've gone! Consider a periodic post over there like: Just having a blast on Nostr

#WelcometoNostr Day 2 What are private keys, npubs, nsecs, and what's my password? Nostr is built upon incredibly cool cryptography. There's no username and password combo that a central authority keeps for you and can potentially leak in a data breach. Instead, your "account" on Nostr has a public key (looks like a long string of jumbled numbers and letters). That public key is what identifies you on the the Nostr network and not a username. Depending on the client you use, you'll find your public key under your public profile name and is displayed to all users. The only way to make a post to the "account" that your public key represents is with your private key. Cryptography makes it so only your private key can post (or "sign") a note as valid to be posted to the “account” with your public key. Public Key = Everyone can see, and is how you're found. Private Key = Keep secret. Someone gets your private key, they can post to your account. You can save your private key in a password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden. Other than that, don't post/display the private key anywhere. For ease of use, some clients display a version of your keys with prefixes: "npub" which represents your Nostr Public Key "nsec" which represents your Nostr Secrect/Private Key There are no passwords on Nostr, just Public and Private key pairs that work through cryptography. The benefit is that you're not tied to any one client, your account is extremely secure, and each message is cryptographically validated that it's you (or the one holding your private key) that posted the note. Hope that helps for a little primer. I'm not the best at concise explanations. Anyone else want to chime in, feel free! We're all learning. Welcome to Nostr, it's a beautiful place!

Nostr is awesome. Each note a beautiful blossom. …a tiny exaggeration, maybe, but the general idea holds.

I remember it like it was yesterday… #[0]​ was zapping left and right. Notifications went bananas. People were so happy. Those were the days.

The Midjourney command to switch from priority processing to slow is /relax Wish I could do that for my mind. ...faint words of a wise wizard/jedi/monk/mentor echo: "It's called meditation! Close your eyes and breathe!" /relax

Communities on Nostr are awesome! Reach out. Post about your interests. We're all wonderfully weird in our own ways. #WelcometoNostr

Why Nostr is important #WelcometoNostr

Why we need Nostr

Why Nostr and the broader idea of decentralizing the internet is an important concept.

The march begins #MarchOffTwitter Good thing there's a welcoming place to go. #WelcometoNostr Going to post welcomes, insights, and howto's this month to help welcome newbies.

All this incredible work on nostr and there’s no token, no nostr-coin. Proof of work ethic on display. #nostr

Kids, sit down, and let me tell you about the day that #[0]​ went zaphappy and showed how sound money could travel at the speed of light. It was beautiful.

Let’s do this.

Zzzzap!

#[0]​ after all the zaps…

The zappening is happening!

Nostr is such a great place, and inevitably, more will come looking to provoke and pick fights. It's hard, but I try to remember and enact these wise words the best I can: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." ―Martin Luther King Jr.

We're so early. #nostr

I don't always walk inside wearing sunglasses, but when I do, it's because of nostr.

Oh, purple, purple, what a hue, So bold and bright and fun to view! The color of both grapes and plum, Or when a hammer hits my thumb. Purple royal, purple grand, The color of majestic lands. It can be playful and also bold, But unlike others, does not get old. So celebrate this color fine, A hue so hugely fun and divine! From hats to shoes to a bowl of stew, Purple, I like you more than Blue!

“Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.” --Stephen Hawking

Today day brings adventure for those willing to seek it. #nostr
