This is why we need burn notices as a NIP. A formalized way to announce, and to like, “burn notices” which, with the help of the network, can identify the new, secure replacement npub.

New or existing event kind could be used but a “hint” to the new npub could be defined. But it MUST be signed by the burnt nsec, imho. Think about it.

Thresholds for likes/zaps/??? by not-new/friendly npubs could help resolve conflicting burn notices when they occur.

This could add value to each person’s network.

I like the idea of a note but a bad actor could utilize this as well since they would have the nsec. Perhaps a "parachute" account could be configured preemptively as insurance? Is that too much to ask of users though in regards to UX?

Yes, a bad actor could compete with conflicting burn notice hints but that could already happen with an informal announcement of the same information. I just think if we specify a standard format, then we can take network, trust based approaches that scale.

Yes sir, agreed on that.
