Just had a heart in mouth Nostr moment

Clicked “delete account” on a client I trialled recently, as I regretted sharing my nsec, so wanted to try make sure it was removed from their system

As I did it I thought “f*ck what if this deletes my entire Nostr account”

Shit

Don’t say I’ve just done that…

To then realise “phew, I can just login with my key pair on another client”

A great reminder of the power of this nascent protocol

What a ride trying new things can be’

So it looks like I deleted all the data connected to my Nostr key pair profile. Banner / user / lightning address, all were deleted. But of course you still have the key pair to log back in again. So it was like I wiped all the user settings, but the notes posted by the key pair of course still exist. So interesting

Make me concerned in a way about nsec security long term. Need to make sure I don't mess it up

Try https://metadata.nostr.com/ to restore your profile

Uf, i hope you recobre your account! Or your data !

Typical case of "still early".
