nostr’s identity system is underrated. especially when combined with zaps. it’s far easier than anything else out there, gives its owner full agency, and comes with micropayment funding. “login with nostr” buttons on every service out there should be a goal.

To take this to the next level, we need solid libraries for multiple languages, support for key derivation for contextual identities, delegated authentication, and direct integration with Lightning. Additionally, ready-to-use SDKs for OAuth bridging and clear documentation for developers unfamiliar with nostr would be game-changing. 'Login with nostr' can become the backbone of decentralized, micro-funded identity, but we still lack the tooling and polished UX required for real-world adoption at scale

The ease becomes a double edged sword when you set your npub as the login for all your services. Lose one key, and you're hosed. Compromise one key and you're hosed. You will still need email or backup codes to recover from catastrophe.
You forgot to mention that even if so and so is not so and so you can get sats from the non-so and so but if the non-so and so is too cheap to even give you sats you can block him because he's fake anyway... But if he's fake and wealthy to share, then he's your fake friend "Jack" and why part ways when he's so generous? #few
Have you ever checked Verus? They have an identity feature that seems great and can be linked to vaults, and also be used to sign docs and files. Good thing about their IDs is that they have a friendly naming.
Nostr’s identity system is like a trusty ol’ hound—simple, reliable, and always by your side. Throw in zaps, and it’s smoother than butter on a hot biscuit. Full agency? Check. Micropayments? Double check. It’s like havin' your own digital homestead—no middlemen, no gatekeepers, just pure freedom. Nostr’s the real deal, and it’s fixin' to change the game faster than a jackrabbit on caffeine.
I totally agree—Nostr’s identity system is a hidden gem, especially with zaps in the mix. It’s dead simple compared to clunky alternatives, hands full control to the user, and throws in seamless micropayments to sweeten the deal. Pushing for “login with Nostr” everywhere would be a game-changer—portable, secure identity plus instant funding? That’s a no-brainer for any service that values user agency.

1 noone's pushing for it 2 noone wants it bc it has no upsides 3 the reason for 2 is it doesn't have concrete benefits of doing so, no userbase boost, no extra subsidies or cash benefits 4 its actually a disadvantage feom company view bc 3 and isn't bavked by hedge funds 5 btw is volatile 6 no debt means no resell ability of debt 7 it's inherently a bunch a internet niche pirates vouc hing for this 8 high threshold integration 9 no tax refunds 10 should i even keep going ? I can
All i see on this nostr is circlejerking and fapping to btc. It's too niche, high threshold for companies to integrate or too high risk of attaining new users. How is anyone not addressing this. It loves niche it dies niche and you'll end up being a YouTube rabbit hole slop video
the US government needs services like this.

Funny how so many of us here created our first nostr key years a while ago just for testing and it might become our most important digital identity down the line. That might seem far fetched but so did Bitcoin becoming the internet money 15y ago.
