So, it seems like there is no way to obsolete private keys on nostr 🤷‍♂️

You can setup a bot 🤖 to clear the profile metadata every 10secs or 1 min intervals? If it was compromised and you didnt want anyone impersonating you. 🤷‍♂️

can https://nsecbunker.com be a solution for you (will not work on the "master" key)?

Keys are just numbers in an equation. You can no more obsolete a key than you can obsolete the number 3. You can only choose to stop using it in future equations. But other people may still use it if they have it.

in the end, they're just numbers. Just don't use it anymore.

Yeah, but if someone gets access to the private keys and restore identity then it’s not good.

True.

I guess obsoleting private keys or destroying somehow is needed

With the way the protocol works, is that even possible?

Idk! That’s why I asked.

I’m definitely no expert on the technicals, but I’m pretty sure it is not possible without significant changes at a protocol level.

Oops. It appears I’ve been miss-informed. 🥲

You can’t do what you’re hoping to do, however using a nip05 can signal which account is authentically you going forward.

Personal responsibility. At the base of everything.
