"CR" for short. Edited "Kicking the Hornet's Nest" (everything Satoshi wrote publicly in chronological order). Made the Nostr Wiki at https://nostrwiki.vercel.app and Nostr bridges: Nostrdon (with Mastodon) & Hostr (with Hive). Home page: https://crrdlx.vercel.app

Might help, but this would only be a bandaid, to my thinking at least. Suppose the bad actor has my nsec yet can't answer my security question...I guess he cannot proceed (though I still can). It would serve as a 2FA in a way. And when would the question be asked? Every time? (Too annoying) Each month? (After he's overtaken "me" for that time). At any rate, the bad actor would still have my nsec and that worries me. The only solution is new keys. Nostr needs key changebility.

First time hearing of #subkeys on #nostr (link below by nostr:npub1melv683fw6n2mvhl5h6dhqd8mqfv3wmxnz4qph83ua4dk4006ezsrt5c24)

Nostriches need the ability to change nsec keys and have "their account" carryover in full. If my nsec is compromised, or I think it might be, I'm out of luck. Currently, nsecs are burner phones. You use it until you feel it might be compromised, then trash it and start over.

I've used Hive (formerly Steem) since 2017 as a blog. It's possible to generate new private keys and everything account-wise carries over. Also, there are actually four keys from least to most secure:

Posting - to post stuff

Memo - send dm

Active - move money

Owner - control everything

Users can chhose which dapp gets which permission/key, or not.

Maybe subkeys could be used similarly on nostr, at least to a degree. I'd especially like to see the ability to migrate to a new nsec if needed. Nostr Wishlist - http://nostrwiki.crrdlx.infinityfreeapp.com/doku.php?id=wiki:nostr-wishlist

Just saw your post on Hive about fly fishing gear, chicks, and peas, and had to give you a follow here on nostr. Great to stumble upon Hivers on Nostr (or vice versa). That's happened to me a couple three times now.

Just a little FYI, I tried your getalby QR code on your Hive post but it through an error for me (Using BlueWallet, Alby linked to BlueWallet). My QR reader said it was lightning:flemingfarm@getalby.com I checked my Alby QR and it just came up crrdlx@getalby.com and went to the send sats screen as expected, so maybe the "lightning:" part is a snag, or maybe it's just on my end.

Yesterday, garden wandering.

I was never too impressed with the allure of banzai trees. The older I get, the more interesting they become to me. I guess the slowness and patience and tranquility starts to gain value over time.

Not a Dad joke but a nerd joke from of old...

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

And a really good vacuum cleaner is a vacuum cleaner that really sucks.

It's fun when you suddenly notice a "hidden" trail leading down to a sun-lit creek just waiting to be explored.

How can I "bookmark" notes I'd like to revisit or reference in the future? Any way to do this other than making a txt or md doc outside of nostr. Even something as simple as just a list of notes, maybe with some context like:

My bookmarked Nostr notes

1. a neat article: https://njump.me...

2. a funny meme: https://njump.me...

3. a dog pic: https://njump.me...

I appreciate y'all hacking through all this to make it work and make it better. Seems important.

"Everbody vote! I'll let you know what I decide." 😀

Democrats' top line in the campaign is that they're fighting to save America's democracy. So...

1. Americans vote in primary elections.

2. American voters select Trump to be the Republican candidate.

3. American voters select Biden to be the Democratic candidate.

4. Democrat leaders try to disqualify Trump as a candidate and circumvent American voters' selection (to be replaced by...someone).

5. Democrat leaders try to rug pull Biden as a candidate and circumvent American voters' selection (to be replaced with a candidate of their own choosing).

6. Democrats' top line in the campaign is that they're fighting to save America's democracy.

What gives?

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as an expiry date. If your nsec is stolen you're out of luck. I blog on the Hive blockchain which uses public/private keypairs and its possible there to switch to new keys. Seems it should be possible here, but no tool yet.

Maybe I'm wrong and someone else can help out. #asknostr

This is the kind of thing I've put on the Nostr wishlist: http://nostrwiki.crrdlx.infinityfreeapp.com/doku.php?id=wiki:nostr-wishlist
