Thinking about locking 1 BTC in my nsec as a proof of key safety. If somebody gets my key, they can steal the 1BTC. And if they do, I will know my key has leaked.

On Nostr, unless you monitor your own posts VERY closely, you never know if your key has leaked or not. That creates lots of liabilities for businesses and some risks for users. Adding a value that is appropriate to the size of the account could work as attack notifier. And business might even be able to insure that amount with cyber insurance. 🤔

It can also serve as proof of human. How many bots will back their accounts with bitcoin?

As many as the developer wants. It is not like bots exists without their inventers. 🙂

As many as the developer can afford. There's a difference. You could argue that you just move funds from one bot to another when it becomes widely known and blocked as a bot, but then we have time. The longer the funds have lived at the pk, the more you trust it is a real nym and not an attempt to game accounts.

It's similar to what joinmarket uses for Sybil resistance.

A JayZ with 1Btc for 1 year is more reliable than one with 1 BTC for 1 week.
