You would have to sign and publish such an event yourself.

In your case, someone else could do it, but all it does is prevent further misuse of a compromised account. There is no putting the cat back in the box anyway.

So if you have your key safe and sound, it's your choice to destroy the account or not. You might do it if you don't want the account anymore, or you may never do it.

If your account is compromised, you can lock it down or let it be used for nefarious reasons. It's up to you but also up to anyone else who has your private key.

Yes, I would use something like that. But I suspect it goes against the overall ethos on Nostr of keeping everything permanent. I'll keep the old account open until I have time to create a new one. I just won't zap with it.

Looks like there's already something brewing in the pipeline.

I knew I saw something in my feed. Thanks for searching. I'm going to watch this to see how it goes.

Got the wallet fixed. Thanks for the help.
