Nostr thoughts, apropos of nothing:

1. Needs revocation keys incase of privkey compromise

2. A nice name for a client would be "Pater nostr"

1. Could be handled by marking the contact list as revoked or by created a revoked note. Clients and/or relays can ignore all further notes from that key if there is a revoke note.

I think this [ability to disavow] is essential in a decentralized future (and our forefathers in PKI figured out the need for revocation keys a long time ago) ; perhaps I will write a NIP around key revocation

Please do! I'll implement it in my client.
