I am currently exploring the Nostr ecosystem and using my private key to access browser clients carelessly, because the stakes are low.
How can I do this safely without putting significant trust on a third party?

Using the standard URI to facilitate #XNO tipping in Amethyst and potentially other clients
The standard URI that is interpreted as a nano address by programs such as the Nault wallet (in desktop) and the Natrium wallet (in the phone) is:
nano:nano_public_address
So, if you use this format in a field where a "website" link is accepted, someone clicking that link who has a wallet app installed will open their wallet with the nano_public_address as the recipient.
What this means is that you can add your nano address to your profile in the "website" field using this format, and it will provide a functionality similar to the lighting-network functionality that is already built directly into the some clients when visiting a user's profile. This does not work with every client, but with Amethyst + Natrium it works great.
This does not mean that you will be able to "Zap" using nano. For that, a new client would have to be developed. But this URI can be used to integrate nano tipping to an extent with minimal effort until more generalized clients exist that give us more freedom about the crypto currencies we can tip with, or until a nano-specific or maybe nano/banano client is developed.
If anyone does want clients that integrate nano or whatever their favorite cryptocurrencies might be, it is good to show some interest about Nostr integration in your community, and about your favorite cryptocurrency in Nostr. An interested community can be a good motivator to develop.

Oh, eventually you started showing up in the computer too. It seems some relay took some time to send stuff to my client, or... I'm not sure. I don't get it yet. So sorry for mis-informing you.

Thanks you get a zap :D
Aaaah, I was just trying to figure out what "GM" was. So it means good morning?

I use both, and find Syncthing a lot more useful in general.
Syncthing automatically my password databases (KeePassXC) between devices, ensures I make multiple copies of important files, allows me to move data generated in computers in the labs while I measure, and use it easily move files between my phone and desktop. There is a Raspberry PI in the network to keep everything in sync, but if it burns my files are still stored in other places.
Next Cloud I use to write down quick notes, organize spreadsheets, slideshow presentations, keep a calendar, and share files with others. So it serves a different purpose, which is to replace Google Docs in my case. And if my RaspberryPI shuts off I can't reach it.

I am using Amethyst with the phone and Irist.to in the browser. I can see you in Amethyst but not iris.to. I noticed when I wanted to reply to you with my computer.

Nanostriches. I like that.
I've noticed! But I'm hoping that future nanostriches won't feel isolated when they venture int these fertile lands of the free.

If you add your nano address as a website using the standard URI, it can be used for tipping too (directly from the profile), like this:
nano:nano_165ncyhzggm6d9isrhfu956s6dnrt3tca8dge86b4uw97zddmt9cfwzyo63i
You can see it in my profile as an example. You have to have some nano wallet for it to work.
Let me know if you add your wallet and I'll tip!

2023-08-25 02:36:01 UTC

- reply

Pretty much! Add as your "website": nano:YOUR_NANO_ACCOUNT
Like:
nano:nano_165ncyhzggm6d9isrhfu956s6dnrt3tca8dge86b4uw97zddmt9cfwzyo63i
When clicking, this will trigger the automatic opening of the nano wallet.

Why do I keep automatically re-following me as I switch Nostr clients? I really don't want to follow that guy.

Great job!
I'm learning a lot about the potential capabilities of Nostr, and this is very exciting. There are so many more possibilities than I initially imaged using a protocol like this one.

My personal website is a static site and I do host it from home, in a Raspberry pi.
Currently I have a VPS running (serverspace.io) to handle a few different things. One of them is a wireguard tunnel that forwards ports 80 and 443 to my home network via the tunnel. This fixes my site's IP to that of the VPS (my home has a dynamic IP), and it also acts as a barrier separating my home network from the outside world.
For my larger sites in which performance is important, I just put them into their own VPS.
My VPS provider is serverspace.io. They have worked well for me, but I haven't used other providers, so I don't have a good metric to tell you how they compare to others.

You can now use nano.to to verify your Nostr address!
https://nano.to/
nano.to is a service that is used to link a username to a nano address and to other assets (such as your website, socials, and github). Through this site you can also set funding goals and receive donations, and even sell items (but I haven't used that functionality myself).
Yesterday the developer did me the favor of including a field to be able to validate a Nostr address!
So, if you already have a nano.to username, or would like to create one, you can now fill-in the "nostr_public_key" entry with your nostr public key in HEX format, and then add username@nano.to to your nip05 address in your nostr profile settings.
What adding your nostr_public_key does is that it will append your nano.to username and nostr key to a public list that can be found here: https://nano.to/.well-known/nostr.json
This information is publicly available, and it can be used for members of the Nano community to easily find each other in Nostr. However, make sure that this does not conflict with any of your privacy-related goals.

GitHub roadmap for Nano. If you've ever wanted to contribute to core development, here might be a good place to start
https://github.com/orgs/nanocurrency/projects/5
One of the community members (qwahzi) recently took the time to improve the roadmap of the Nano node project in GitHub. This is a good place to look at to see figure out where help might be needed if you would like to volunteer, or simply look at the state of the project.

How to encode a nano payment request into an NFC tag
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq0pCRGcrTQ
This video is a short demonstration of how to encode a nano payment request for a specific amount into the URI of an NFC tag.
The URI should be:
nano:{RECEIVE_ADDRESS}?amount={AMOUNT_IN_RAW}
Removing the ?amount= section allows you to initialize a transaction without a specific payment amount.
In this demonstration, it show how easy it is to encode a transaction to create NFC-based payment applications.
The NFC tag is an NTAG215, which costs 40 cents. But any will probably work.
The NFC Tag maker app: https://f-droid.org/packages/pl.net.s...
The Natrium wallet is not available through F-Droid, but it can be installed directly from GitHub: https://github.com/appditto/natrium_w...
The purpose of this video is to show you how to encode the nano transaction into the URI. For a real-world application, you will need to protect the NFC tag such that the information it holds cannot be easily over-written by a malicious actor.
