How to use Nostr with the Alby Extension

How to use Nostr?

To use nostr, you need a key and a client. nostr.how provides a great good guide to get started:

Each Nostr account is based on a private/public key pair. Your private key is your password and your public key is your username. You are responsible for keeping your private key safe.

It is not recommended to sign into a Nostr client by pasting in your private key. It is insecure. Instead, you can use a wallet, which is designed to manage your private key.

The Alby Extension with Alby bitcoin lightning wallet has built-in support for Nostr. It's a great option for users to generate your own Nostr private key OR important and store an existing key.

Check out this full blog post on how the Alby extension can be used with Nostr and keep your keys private.
