So I will say one thing positive about Nostr:

I like that you don't have to register.

If you visit the site, you're automatically given a public and private key.

Neat!

Problem is that I don't think it's very practical to port your keys over to another instance.

So if there's no ID portability, I think I'd rather just make my own username and password.

@atomicpoet There's a Chrome extension, nos2x, that acts as a way to generate and carry the keys from one client to another, however my success in actually using it has been mixed. The only client I've actually been able to use successfully, I had to copy in the private key.

The idea of a client storing the private key seems like an enormous security concern, especially after the security incident!
