Final on Nostr: I understand. I imagine I have really annoyed a ton of people but oh well. Key pairs ...
I understand. I imagine I have really annoyed a ton of people but oh well.
Key pairs for Nostr are great for verification but are a disadvantage towards certain security measures. Nsec is only as secure as the app that generated it and is only as secure as the least secure platform you stored/used it on. Takes a lot of responsibility, which I'm fine with, but most people aren't.
If you want to change security requirements (like me) you likely need to burn your key... I guess it's no different to PGP keys that expire on a set time but I'd really be waiting for a dedicated secure hardware signer before I ever share my Nostr nsec keys on any other app or device... and id probably also rotate my keys again if a device existed.
