Exactly. This allows users to create a brand new account, and the nsecbunker keeps their private key for them and allows them to retrieve that key if they want (or if they lose access, to regain access using an email address the way that most people users on the internet are accustomed to).
Users can always take their private key and delete their account on the bunker but I imagine that plenty of users (just like with bitcoin) don't trust themselves to manage their own keys.
I love the idea of testing the familiarity of email, and recovery during onboarding. Let’s see how this does in practice compared to on device keypairs 👀
I’m guessing on device will win for a lot of people. They’ll join Nostr via a mobile app. Then that will be their gateway/signer for other apps that they try from then forward.
I am curious if initially a rough onboarding across a multitude of apps will lead to a need to consolidate multiple keys from multiple apps under one roof. Probably a non-problem today.
I think it’s good initial onboarding and expanding Nostr. But I hope in the long run everyone takes responsibility for their own keys
