Leaking privkeys though… obviously this is bad in any scenario. In the context of nostr, I’m not sure what the specific concerns are with providing an xpub to a service provider. To me it seems equivalent to giving an xpub to a Bitcoin exchange, etc.

Yeah but here we are doing things we would never recommend for bitcoin keys.

Ie. private key stored on a device and copied over from app to app or device to device.

Chances of leaking a private key is very high.

Hm. When I use a mobile hot wallet, is it not touching my Bitcoin private key? What’s the big difference I’m missing?

Also, welcome to the party 🤙

I’m not promoting the idea, just trying to think it could provide any UX benefits to nostr relays/services
