My NOSTR address (npub) is turning out to be a lot like my original Bitcoin address. Something I set up and played with awhile before setting it aside thinking it wasnβt really ever going to be worth anything. But each time I come back to it, itβs gotten betterβ¦

Lol I wish i took better care of my first Bitcoin wallets, especially the one I started using for Lightning, oh well we live and learn
What would you have done to be different? Let us learn from your mistakes too π
How do I prevent my nostr app from leaking the private key and what do I do once it has leaked?
Use a browser extension like Alby, nost2x or Nostore (Apple/IOS). These let you sign using your nsec without actually giving it to a client.
But if your sec is Leaked, the only option AFAIK right now is to abandon it and start over. You can always repost your important old posts.
I think the protocol guys are working on some kind of key rotation NIP, so maybe one day you'll be able to roll your nsec.
