I agree the inability to do key rotation in Nostr is a major concern. It’s one of several things that make me sometimes think of making a derivative protocol that fixes some of the problems that have cropped up with Nostr. So far I’ve resisted the temptation.

Frostr is the only interesting option.
Frostr isn't key rotation in the base sense he seems to be talking about though. It's still a single forever-key, just one with several minions.
Sure, but if you use different keys everywhere, you just need to rotate those keys, not your main one.
There will never be a rotation of the main key.
Dunno but I think he means rotation of the main key, hence the to-fork-or-not-to-fork internal debate.
As in some fork where a majority of the guardians can sign a transaction to replace the lost main key with a new one and the protocol respects that. Farcaster sort of does this.
How would your alternative protocol handle the key rotation without single central entity?
