Nstart: Nostr Onboarding Wizard

• "Say hello to Nstart, Nostr's onbarding tool," announced Daniele.

• Nstart includes some powerful features, including:
  • Easy local backup of your nsec or ncryptsec;
  • Email yourself your ncryptsec, as additional backup location;
  • Create a multi-signer bunker URL for Nostr Connect;
  • Auto follow the contacts list of some old and trusted Nostr users;
  • Customize of contact suggestions, useful for onboarding friends & family.
• Nstart makes use of multi-signature bunker that is managed by promenade.

"This is really cool stuff made by fiatjaf, that uses FROST to split your nsec in 3 (or more) and distribute each shard to an independent trusted remote signer. This will give you a bunker code that you can use to log in to many web, mobile and desktop apps without exposing your nsec. If you ever lose your bunker code, if the signers vanish from Earth, and it stops working, or if it gets stolen by a malware virus, you can use your nsec to create a new one and invalidate the old one," said the developer.

DISCLAIMER: "This bunker implementation needs a small update from the classic implementation, so not all apps support it yet, please beg your favorite developer to update their app. It also does not support encryption, so it cannot be used for DMs apps."

• Using Nstart is simple. You can just share https://start.njump.me with anyone you'd like to invite to Nostr. To allow them to follow you and your contact list, personalize the URL with your npub (or nprofile).

https://start.njump.me?s=<npub1>,<npub2>,<npub3>

For example:

https://start.njump.me?s=npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk
