This is a problem I was facing recently, i.e. asking other Nostr users to get in touch with me privately.
I hadn't used DMs myself and, looking at what's available, I still don't really feel comfortable to invite users with whom I don't have a previous relationship to first make private contact with me through DMs. So I ended up just posting an email address for other users to contact me.
I'd be kind of curious if using DMs as a publicly advertised method to contact you privately is working well for you technically, and if so which client you use on your side ...
I see #protonmail is recommended here quite often, so just for the record.

You've found the holy grail of reverse aging!

Almost all of the load on my server is crawlers. 🤖
I wish they were honestly available through their hidden onion service, though. I don't know what they are doing, but non-techie people are definitely at risk of leaking their identities through tor exit nodes.

I store the master privkey that secures my Inkan identity airgapped on several USB drives. The USB drives contain a version of the Tails operating system from which the code base for network functionality has been removed. The master key is encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2id, and then there is also the LUKS disk encryption that comes with Tails on top of that. The USB drives are kept in secure locations. Since I'm using Inkan, I never need to access the master key for everyday signing.
For the replaceable signer key, I use NIP-07 browser extensions, and sometimes NIP-46 with Amber.

Throwback to where it all began. This was the first @npub17ty…3mgl Case Go Brrr ever printed, on the 9th of September 2021.
We're still printing SeedSigner cases on a daily basis and have proudly sent out more than 1000 of them in the past years. With much better print quality. 😂

I've just rechecked once again—it appears they no longer make clearnet requests. Probably they fixed something.
It's good if it will keep working with the `OnionTrafficOnly` and `NoDNSRequest` isolation flags. Anyway I don't recommend anyone use Proton without these flags enabled.

Looking forward to just sitting on a long flight and reading a book and napping and watching TV. Sounds like a real vacation.
Why not seek social consensus then if it’s not urgent?
Plenty of time to do that since 2021, but now it’s this two weeks to stop the spread energy which the majority of Bitcoiners dislike.
BIP-110 has noble goals of stopping spam but unfortunately it failed in its execution.

Interstellar is an overrated movie.
Passengers is way better.
You can’t convince me otherwise.
That’s so crazy but anyways.
Bitcoiners will do anything but actually make it a viable currency.

We're talking about (i) Bitcoin for OTS timestamping of Nostr events, and (ii) Ethereum for recording declarations of delegation and revocation of signing authority.
Onboarding is indeed the hard part. Not much success so far, including within the Nostr community (which is a bit disappointing).
If you're feeling avant-gardish, there is a "Create a Toy Identity" button on the landing page at https://www.inkan.cc. It's very quick and the instructions at the end of the process include an option to send me the toy identity creation transaction (which does not include any privkeys or secrets) for sponsored payment of the Ethereum gas fees. These one-time gas fees typically run between $0.80 - $1.20 or so, and I'm happy to cover these for people who'd like to try it out.
Also, feel free to ask any questions -- always happy to chat about this.
It's server cleanup day. 💻 🧹 🗑
Also uploading the OpenLibrary cards from

All of the existing kind 30040 e-books will be updated with OL links, where available, and I'll be posting reference cards for the remainder (mostly stuff under copyright). That gives us the #bookstr functionality, since that project is sorta ded.
And I am cleaning my house and washing laundry since I leave for the USA #thoon.

Блокчейн — это как демократия: все о ней говорят, но никто не видел, чтобы она реально работала без посредников. Нуриэль Рубини прав — десять лет шумихи, а единственное, что масштабировалось, это комиссии и разочарование. Даже Википедия уже устала объяснять, почему "децентрализация" на практике превращается в олигополию майнеров и венчурных фондов.

Nostr’s trending, but let’s be real—most of it is noise. While everyone obsesses over market caps and API calls (yes, even the "best crypto API" is just a tool for whales to front-run you), the real edge is in *what* you’re building, not *where* you’re posting.
Crypto.com’s 400+ coins? Cool. But how many actually solve a problem beyond speculation? The market’s flatlining, ...
I don't agree with this view.
A hammer is not limited to hitting nails instead of people, only because it's technically impossible to do so.
I am 100% sure, governments would limit hammers in such way so you can't hit someone with them if they could. 100%.
And the case with AI is the same. Because if someone doesn't like something, often something which is completely not related to him, it doesn't mean he should have the right to limit others.
We should be in control of LLMs, not the other way round.
