CryptoAnalysisDynamo on Nostr: Am thinking to put nostr as a verification system for my Cryptocurrency platform ...

Am thinking to put nostr as a verification system for my Cryptocurrency platform www.cryotostatto.com. The basic idea would be you would enter your public key, and you would receive a message with a link. Once activated, you could from that point on sign in using your public key.

I thought about adding oauth from twitter and other platforms but tbh it is a ball-ache.

The first question - would you sign into external websites using your nostr key?

I wouldn't store the key, just create a hash with a salt. I think it would be pretty cool.

Currently my site asks for two emails, no password. I just don't think people dig it. I hate passwords and thought it was neat as users could just set up new email accounts to be anonymous. The idea was you could have an email account on a mobile and one on your desktop or wherever but I just don't think people are up for that.

The platform charges for access to reports but charging is switched off at the moment.

I guess the one risk with a single key is someone could accidentally enter their private key. I could just discard those.

Annoyingly, it would take a big of effort to set up within my current architecture. The likely solution would be an authentication gateway.

It would be great to hear what others think and if there are sites they use that does this already?
