That’s the idea. Cold master key, derived epoch keys.
The difference is continuity comes from cryptographic lineage, not NIP-05 or client remapping. Those are optional conveniences, not the foundation.
Discussion
Couldn’t lineage also be kinda forked over ? But in practice I guess you correct, also not a single client supports any of these kinds of this practices. Everybody here still in raw dog mode 😆
It can fork, but only root authorized lineage matters. Clients follow the highest valid branch.
And agreed. Right now everyone’s still pretending long lived hot keys are fine.
