I thought Pablo was the one to propose it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I haven't followed the discussion but imagine the distaste boils down to the added complexity all while not being a perfect solution. If nostr were centralize, this wouldn't be a concern since we could shove key delegation down everyone's throats.

yes this is the concern, and it complicates relay implementations. It was originally created by the cto at minds.com as a way they can transition to use nostr, but i don’t think they pushed that very hard and they seem to have lost interest

I didn't propose it, I was an advocate for it -- we even did a panel with nostr:npub1tv8gmfhalwnxxquxjzeh6gtdsdz6vg7vx0s3rt7s7uuw6aujh32qn77wn2 at Nostrica for it.

The closer I got to it the more I realize it was a very problematic NIP.

I think NIP-46 is the right way of doing "delegation" as it's equivalent to taking complexity offchain
