Do we like this way of representing the NSEC to facilitate handwritten backup and typing back into the app?

```

NSEC1-AGZ4-Q7LG-WN8V-4K5M

FA4KT-YK8G-VY0R-AHV2-CPL2

KJQ6M-SP8X-PZV2-PQX7-8ZKF

```

Why we don't just use mnemonics, and generate many nsecs from it? https://github.com/jaonoctus/nip06

We have it implemented, but no one uses it.

Current users can't generate seed words from the existing nsecs. They have to restart from scratch.

Why?

Because existing nsec keys can't be converted back to a mnemonic seed, it seems.

Yes, but you didnt answer my question

Bitcão 1y ago

What do you mean with restart from scratch? Generate another nsecs from another mnemonics words?

It seems that NIP-06 doesn't support multiple keys in the sense that a new key is used for each new note/event. But different account numbers are a thing.
