I am fully sold in nostr. BUT, people are acting like you can't loose your identity and being hijacked...I have zero ability to fully control Internet providers, clients and dns's...there is no way to know if you have a keyboard logger, or a client miss use your nsecs.
I think we do need to do our best to keep keys secure, and plenty of cold backups. I am super confident on mine.
But we need a way to burn original nsec amd replace with some sort of backup and redundancy.
The whole idea of nostr being your identity and reputation falls apart when you actually are hijacked by nation state agency or something and your digital identity(nsec) taken from you. You always havr a way with your real physical identity to be in one place at a time and provee who you are. Up to this time there are no clones, until then. The digital and physical identity are still distance apart from a security stand point.
I will love to see nostr trying to find a way give key users a way to reclaim digital identity (ay least a limited amount of burner keys).
People always dismiss this worry as "they just don't know how to protect their keys" but the cybersecurity aspect and compromise current Internet infrastructure is beyond most people.
My two cents 😅😅. Love the work you are doing!
