I’ve proven to myself that a #nostr wallet can exist across time and space, independently of any one app, server or custodian. The only thing which controls the ‘wallet’ is the generation and control of an #nsec which is free to exist within or flee any jurisdiction.
In my mind, this lays to rest the notion that a wallet needs to be an app, service, or anything that can be captured commercially or by the state.
Just wild. I successfully used a relay in China to make a Lightning payment.
