Discussing private keys, public keys, and relays are confusing for most people. These aren't terms that most people use in their everyday lives. That doesn't mean that they can't learn though. It means that we need better ways to communicate technical information to non-technical people. (Bonus: that is my favorite question to ask candidates during interviews.) Nostr is getting better all of the time at handling this too. nsecBunker bunker with Oauth-style login and password is a great start to this entire process. We'll still need to teach and educate those using these services though. Work hard.

I think the confusion is because Key is used for both the private and the public part. Maybe renaming the public "key" to Public Lock would help a ton, to differentiate between the public and private parts (🔐). Everyone "locks" messages for you with the Public Lock you gave them, your Private Key can unlock those messages (🔒+ 🔑 = 🔓)
