Read an interesting Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/level39/status/1632240495396044800?t=qX8lpBQEB_C6IBBx8xILaA&s=19
from level39 (is he on nostr?).
The threat is about losing your identity when you lost access to your nsec or NIP05 domain.
I thing this will not a problem in the long run as I'm confident there will be several solutions on nostr regarding these problems (Delegation, key deriving, multisig, key invalidation, did on nostr,... to name a few solutions)

New release 0.5.0 of pynostr
In this release the timeout parameter has moved to the class init function.
relay_manager.run_sync(timeout=2) ->
relay_manager = RelayManager(timeout=2)
relay_manager.run_sync()
and
io_loop.run_sync(r.connect, timeout=2) ->
io_loop.run_sync(r.connect)
I added a new example for sending and receiving dms:

You can also use the following Python Script. It shows the fee for online paid relays + the number of unique pubkeys.

New version of my Python library pynostr is released

It uses now the tornado websocket implementation. I added two examples, more will follow.

## How to setup your own relay with nip05 authentication
I'm using a contabo CLOUD VPS M with NVMe and I'm using nostr-rs-relay with sqlite.
nostr-rs-relay does not work on ubuntu 20.04, so I'm using ubuntu 22.04
I mainly followed
https://github.com/BlockChainCaffe/Nostr-Relay-Setup-Guide
Addionially I needed to install protobuf
apt install protobuf-compiler
and I added
proxy_read_timeout 1d;
proxy_send_timeout 1d;
to the nginx conf in location / { } of listen 443 SSL;
The config.toml needs to be changed and
[verified_users]
mode = "enabled"
must be added.
let me know if you have questions are getting stuck during setup.

That happened during moving to the new server. I shortly removed the nip05 requirements for debugging.
Using nip05 works quite fine in fighting spam. Especially as I can blacklist domains.

I will check this out, thanks.

2023-02-23 07:24:15 UTC

I just learned that the nostr-rs-relay is confused when using the same pubkey more than once in the nostr.json for NIP05 validation.
Meaning not a single of my events was stored on my on relay 😥

He was shutted down, as he was getting to expensive.

My relay wss://relay.nostrich.de run's now on a more powerful server. (16 GByte ram, 6 cores and NVMe). Using NVMe really makes a difference, everything is much faster than before.
There are currently some good offers from contabo.com (double amount of storage for free). They are quite cheap and a good starting point for your new relay :).

After an relay url, you see the event date followed by my following count.

2023-02-18 14:17:01 UTC

I finished my first useful python script, using my pynostr python library.
The script fetches the complete list of relays from https://api.nostr.watch/v1/online and requests from all relays my CONTACTS event.
Then the script checks if date and the follower count.
Finally the newest event is broadcasted to all relays that have a old version of my contact list. The best part is that my script does not need a private key.

Let me know if I should run your pubkey

How is the nsec stored? Is it stored in only locally on the in phone?

If you are looking for a working nostr Python library take a look at https://github.com/holgern/pynostr
Version 0.2.0 with a first implementation of a tornado based relay client have been released.

Thanks, I ⚡ you but it doesn't show up below your post on snort. Though it works like on the damus client.

How do a client know which relays I'm using? I checked the NIP definitions but I did not found something.
It does not work on each client, but snort and amethyst are supporting this.
There is NIP-65 with kind 10002, but it is not used yet.
Any ideas?

On snort.social I can see all your 224 followers and 220 followings.

Have you checked if the wrong lightning address was used by another account?
It could be that your metadata were mixed up with some random account due to a bug in a client.

Hi #[0]
can you help me with encrypted messages? In the example in https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md it says:
let sharedPoint = secp.getSharedSecret(ourPrivateKey, '02' + theirPublicKey)
But what is happening when the actual prefix of theirPublicKey was '03'? I think we will then calculate the wrong shared_secret.
As I understand from https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/103442/convert-a-schnorr-public-key-to-a-compressed-ecdsa-public-key
I need the private key to convert a BIP0340 Public key into a secp256k1 ECDSA public key:
BIP0340 to ECDSA: Find out if the associated private key produces a correct or incorrect implicit y
-coordinate. If correct prepend 0x02; if incorrect prepend 0x03.
But as I do not have the private key, how can I assume it is always 02?
For example:
bob_priv = "4138d1b6dde34f81c38cef2630429e85847dd5b70508e37f53c844f66f19f983"
When I create the ECDSA Pubkey it is:
bob_pub = "03a1db8e8b047e1350958a55e0a853151d0e1f685fa5cf3772e01bccc5aa5cb2eb"
When I convert it into the BIP0340 key it will be:
bob_pub_340 = "a1db8e8b047e1350958a55e0a853151d0e1f685fa5cf3772e01bccc5aa5cb2eb"
If I use bob_pub_340 for creating a shared secret, I assuming a prefix of "02 " and build the wrong shared secret.
I'm confused now.

Amethyst rocks, kiwi Browser + nos2x extension+ snort.social is also great.

I have the same problem as well.

What is the best websocket client library for python?
* tornado

Happened to me just this second.
A second confirmation would be great.
