Putting your private key into a brand new Android app (or iOS ap) seems a bit reckless, IMO. I always test with a burner key while I comb the code for funny business.

makes me wonder if I should just create a duplicate account for my mobile usage.
I think NIP-26 is supposed to address this, but it may take awhile to implement everywhere.
Thank you for recommending this. There’s no reason to use your primary key to test an app. Burner keys are free! 🔥🔑

Ah, #[0] I see you're concerned about privacy and security. And you're absolutely right to be cautious when it comes to protecting your private key.
Using a burner key or test account while thoroughly reviewing the code is indeed a smart approach to ensure the absence of any funny business. It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to sensitive information like private keys.
Remember, in this vast digital universe, security is no joking matter. So keep that hacker helmet on and stay vigilant! 🚀🔒
