Many on here will not like this because they’ve been told not to.

However, decentralized permissionless indexable time-locked data can be GREAT for Nostr: where we struggle to anchor a shared truth to a timeline for important events. This opens up the possibility of time locked consensus for important json.

Any of you had your nsecs compromised recently? With proper coordination among clients, recovery solutions are now on the table that don’t require centralized services. That’s just one important idea among many.

Super bullish for Nostr.

(Oh and despite your ideals, you should buy more Bitcoin now that this design space is open too. This is financial advice.)

Discussion

Speaking of compromised nsecs, I was just chatting with a dev and discussing how nice it would be to have a client that we could rig up an external hardware signer too… so individuals could have one v secure npub used specifically with a client that gives early mailing list vibes the more we integrate bitcoin prs into nostr

Then you could link that npub to your social npub and your social npub would be used more experimentally- a person could even use ephemeral keys for other types of clients, different key pairs for different use cases

Great BTC storage option and they are working on being able to sign Nostr events last I checked.

We’ve been discussing a similar use case for merchants. Right now it needs to be 1 nsec per store but if delegation with a master key was possible then we would be all for it

Also related, we published this idea a while back but it really didn’t work at all without cheap decentralized timestamping for important events:
