There could be a protocol to announce key compromises, maybe based on opentimestamps. The thing is, you don't really lose a key, it just leaks. You can still write and sign a note announcing key compromise. Then every previous note can still be deemed pre-compromise and thus valid

Of course for this to work your previous noted must also be anchored using OT

Yeah, the thing is, when you start using nostr, you should understand very well, whatever data/info you shared, in public or private notes, once you compromise your keys, it's done, there's no way to close the door and encrypt them again witha different one..

Or maybe there is.. 🤔

.. automatically creating a recovery keys when you create your npub? So if the original is compromised, with the recovery you can obliterate the access from the forst one?

(Not a dev so I don't know what I am talking about, I am just high at moment)

you can make a sign a note specifying another public key to trust in case of a compromise

you can sign a note*
