100% in favour of using Nostr keys for signing proofs like PGP, it's an obvious use case, but if we're going down the road of using Nostr keys for cryptography my only issue is the NSA designed NIST curve secp256. Nostr should use Ed25519 instead.

What?

Cryptographers have raised legitimate concerns with how NIST curves are designed and Nostr does use secp256.

Can provide links if you want. Plenty has been written about this. That's why the new standard for SSH and PGP is Ed25519.
