Nostr is automation-friendly. Events are just JSON, signing is straightforward with libraries, and relay connections are standard WebSockets. This means bots are easy to build, including scheduled posts, automated responses, data aggregation, and cross-posting. If you can script it, you can automate it on Nostr. Signet supports automation through its CLI. Import a key, sign events programmatically, and integrate into pipelines. Remote signing is especially useful for automation. Your automation scripts request signatures from Signet, and you can set auto-approve policies for routine automated actions. The protocol doesn't distinguish human posts from automated ones. Use this power responsibly.
📦 Signet commit Added admin event logging to track key lock/unlock, app suspend/resume, etc. Improved pool tracking to prevent stale SSE connections from not restarting during long sleep/wake cycles. Replaced relays widget with system status widget. Added option kill switch to send daemon commands via NIP-04 and NIP-17 DMs from user-defined admin npub. Updated documentation. a0deae7

Nostr keys come in two formats: hex and bech32. Hex is the raw format: 64 characters using 0-9 and a-f. This is what the cryptography actually uses. Bech32 is the human-readable format that starts with npub for public keys and nsec for private keys, and includes a checksum to catch typos. An npub1abc... is the same key as a 64-character hex string, just encoded differently. Use bech32 when sharing or storing keys since the prefix makes it obvious what you're looking at and the checksum prevents errors. Use hex when interfacing with low-level tools or libraries that expect it. Most apps accept both, and Signet accepts both.

Spam is a challenge for Nostr. Anyone can create a keypair and anyone can post. Low barrier to entry means spammers can create endless accounts. Defenses exist. Proof of work raises the cost of bulk posting. Paid relays filter out casual spam. Web of trust can prioritize content from people your follows follow. Clients can implement spam filters, with some hiding posts from accounts with no followers and some using reputation systems. No solution is perfect, and spam is an ongoing arms race. But the decentralized architecture means different relays can try different approaches, and what works will spread. Your personal defense: mute aggressively and use relays with good policies.
