I wish I could sign notes with some kind of yubikey type device

I'm almost certain my nsec will be stolen one day, I've pasted it into too many apps at this point

That would be awesome.

Well, a new one every now and then, ain’t it beautiful?

I fear this too. Is there a way to move your npub to a different nsec?

I'll say no, not really, but a method was being worked on at one point.

I remember that and it’s concerning we haven’t found a solution by now

A solution to this would be for the relay software to allow us to export our notes and import our notes to a new nsec. Then if our nsec gets stolen we can easily recover.

Does nostr have a key revocation protocol yet? I'll confess that I haven't kept up…

I'm not sure if this makes much sense, but what if we had something like HDD wallets but for nostr keys. Your master key can generate child keys, with some way of repudiating those children. You then only use burnable child keys in apps.

This, with expiring delegated nsecs.

You can. It's how we manage the nostr:nprofile1qqsvwcwuwcwmucx3s7dfs54m49h7uclw4vxh8ygu25m9chk0ypy5ngspzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0xlzhgv nsec.

Though you'll be limited to using nostr web clients AFAIK.

Hi nostr:nprofile1qqs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhspu30gj Casa does literally support yubikey as a signer for Bitcoin multisig. Could we use the same method to sign Nostr notes with an actual yubikey?

Wow! This looks promising.

Passport Prime. Soon. 🤞

Hardware nostr signers exist. They cost about $25. I haven't used it, but the people who have are apparently happy with them.
