Interesting post from John Carvalho. A lot of seemingly simple topics, that are actually quite complex, covered. IMHO he gets more right than wrong.

What is very interesting is that ed25519 keys which are git keys or ssh key can do everything that nostr can do, and more. They can post stuff to lots of servers, relay stuff, integrate with most major tooling, and so on -- if they choose that.

But nostr can do one thing that pubky cant, and that is native integration with bitcoin time chain, distributed ledger and smart contracts. However this feature is still unused, and might never be used.

So in theory pubky could offer some significant innovation along slde nostr. I hope it goes well for them, as I like John, and it's good for users to have more options, and more innovation in the space.

bro is just mad he never thought of nostr first.

I am Satoshi Nostromoto

also one key for everything is a bad idea and delegation should have been actually a thing to some extent along with OTS

You can also just sign an ed25519 key with an nsec

Yay delegation

Ask @fiatjaf if he agrees with that assessment.

Family?

I have to see some code examples first, one of the things I like about nostr is the ease of development and transparency, it's very simple and easy to check your notes on a relay. If Pubky is easy enough and offers more possibilities it might be interesting.
