Nostr Web Client

If you had a way to preserve your nostr identity so that you could recover from someone compromising your nsec and it required writing a note in your nostr client, would you do it?

Repost for visibility, want to see what people think.

you mean posting something like:

“if this nsec is ever compromised, I will begin posting with npub1xyz”

I mean, yeah sounds legit to me.

That’s what I thought of too, but he said that wouldn’t work. TBH, I don’t fully understand why but he knows a lot more than me.

> you need anchoring to something that can’t be trivially reordered.

so bake the current block height into the message?

it’s signed so it cannot be tampered with.

The opposite, you can sign that a note was written in block 1, that doesn’t mean it was 😅

and that’s why you’re writing the nips here 😂
