What is transfering an "identity" for you nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 ? Transfering the signed content?

Primarily thinking of someone’s social graph/connections. Content can be republished, although that could be a hassle too. Social graph can be rebuilt too, but again it would be a hassle, whereas with typical social accounts you’d just reset your password and move on with the same account.

Ahaaa! So you mean, when you lock yourself out, you are locked out for good.

I have no idea what you’re saying, lol. All I’m saying is that it would easier for users if the experience of changing key pairs on Nostr was more like changing your password on Twitter. It would also make Nostr more useable for companies, organizations, and anyone who is human enough to make mistakes with their online accounts.

I meant you mean this, when you forget or lose your nsec, and you want to be able to reset your account, like you can reset on twitter.

Ohhh ok I see 😂 I was actually thinking of a situation where you still have your nsec but suspect it’s been compromised, but a lost nsec would kind of fit into that situation too, maybe a little differently though.

I guess if you have your old nsec, its a bit easier.

I'll disagree. Being aware of this things should be a part of the culture built in. If you forgot, an or and or, you will only do it one or twice. How many bitcoiners found out this lesson the hard way in the early days. Culture should/needs to be an important part of every system.
