Pleas help, good NOSTR neighbors!
Can you point me at some best practice for sharing a NOSTR profile? Is the gold standard for that still just sharing the same private key, or is there any NIP for some more elegant form of delegation?

We're so early in nostr history that to my knowledge, the gold standard hasn't been developed yet. We're still using Rai Stones lol
There is no nip, nor gold standard. It's a bit of a mess, and not looking like it's going to get better any time soon. The canonical form is to use your pubkey, but that will have different states on different relays. There is a hack which lets you combine pubkey with a relay using nprofile, it amounts to having a query string, and that is nprofile. You can also share via nip-05 user@host which provides a two way binding with your pubkey, tho that will change over time (unless you have something like single use-seals, or git, or both). Sites such as https://nostr.at/ (which is a fork of njump dot me without the spyware) do a reasonable job in finding your profile. https://nostr.at/npub1au23c73cpaq2whtazjf6cdrmvam6nkd4lg928nwmgl78374kn29sq9t53j ... this is a big problem in nostr because profile is what ties everything together and critical to UX. It's not going to get fixed anytime soon, and may well get worse. Sites like nostr at do the best job for now, and you can use nprofile but be aware it's a hack. tl;dr there's no best pracitice in nostr, just different hacks
you can share your profile across devices using a nsec bunker that signs remotely without sharing directly the nsec. Amber on android works great, you put your nsec and you can sign in every app that uses nip-46, on same device or remotely. Grandissimo Giacomo!!!😁
Thanks!
if instead you are talking about delegated events there is NIP-26, which is quite good, tho some idiots are trying to kill it
Thanks!
Not your keys, not your posts
njump.me + your npub
