Yarr! Yesterday was demo day here at SEC-01 and I presented my proposal for identity management in nostr. In it I introduce some new concepts for identity management such as secure identities and simple identities, master keypair and subkeys (this will allow cold storage).
This was a research exercise in which I studied the previous proposals that have been presented and how gpg (a battle-tested protocol) achieves its robustness. I've based it mainly on nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft proposal, extending it and trying to take the best of all of them and make something that makes sense for nostr, prioritising simplicity and backwards compatibility.
Please take a moment to read the proposal and share your ideas/criticism, this is something super important for nostr as having a more robust identity system will better preserve the value that content creators, companies and users in general can create and ultimately have a richer and more valuable network where everyone can maintain the value, reputation and web of trust that it creates.

Nice! Discussions are now happening between devs about Master #nostr addresses and slave/sub addresses, as well as a 'plab b' for if your keypair gets leaked =3

From what I've read, the experience is pretty much what I wanted when I wrote about it:

and
This is, in part, what I wanted and here it is =3
It didn't work on my end, getting a failed connection error, but happy that it exists and hope someone forks it and develops it further.
With this, I would finally have a single app on my other phone dedicated to just having my nostr addresses there and managing my connections to other clients (on other phones or PCs, apps/sites), and signing remotely.

With that said, I remembered the Amber app, which is almost there, but it doesn't have NIP-46 yet, but has other things I want (multiple accounts for example). If Amber adds what Nostr Signer has, NIP-46, and QR scan / paste a client's connection link, then that's it, we are good! =3
All that would be left with Amber is a redesign and, when it's out, an implementation of this:
