Yep, blockchain is good for ordering (time) only. Absolutely critical for #bitcoin; important, but not critical for #nostr
Putting this out there...
Back in the early days of the internet, it was the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) that enabled the internet to globally scale. In brief, (show below), a node connects to a network, which connects to a gateway which made everything look like a singular network, namely the internet.
I attempted to find the same pattern to #nostr - and what I came up with is also shown below.
It's a similar pattern to BGC - three things: a "keypair"(npub/nsec) which uses an "app", which, in turn, connects to a "relay".
This pattern is parallel to BGC, the keypair uses an app which connects to a relay (or relays) that makes everything the #nostr network look singular. This is what makes the #nostr protocol compelling.
So, in addition to a "global communication network" (i.e., the internet), we now have a "global socioeconomic network" (the #nostr network).
For me, it makes it clear that the end game is not a "killer app" but rather building many apps that can leverage the #nostr network as a singular whole.
Comments welcome!
Using a NIP-05 service would be nice as well. I am thinking that NIP-05 could evolve into a trusted name service where I could rotate my pubkey if required.

I can try what I want.
Maybe. I am looking to replace my wallet component. Want to use a relay as the datastore- not a db.
nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 why does mstr insist on using “the blockchain” for DID?
Is there no other practical way to add key rotation?

Key rotation for a ‘name’, not an identifier. I’ve been looking at this problem for a long while and have concluded that this problem needs to be solved at a higher level. I think a trusted nip05 provider that keeps a history of keys (npubs), is a better approach. I think key rotation at the did:method level is not the way to go.

This is little more than an idea - #nostr #safebox . Let's see how this goes....
Nostr SafeBox is like those hotel safeboxes where you put your passport and money in while you are travelling. Digital travelling should be no different. You should be able to access your safebox whenever you need it - and get rid of it, when you no longer need it.
Still super-early - working on the concept of a ‘safebox’ for Nostr. It’s a generalization of the wallet concept for storing secure, private personal information.
The idea is that the safebox contains different item types, wallets, records, etc. You can give a client access by providing the `nsec` of the safebox. If you no longer trust the client, you can transfer the data to another safebox and delete the current one (no guarantees on deletion, of course)
#Nostr fixes this. 
No one should have admin rights to your soul. Use #nostr
I can’t help shake the sense that society is going through a collective Stockholm Syndrome phase with vendors with which they have little choice.
For reference:
Stockholm syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where hostages or victims develop positive feelings, empathy, and loyalty towards their captors or abusers. This can occur over a period of captivity or abusive relationship. The syndrome is named after a bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1973, where hostages defended their captors after being released. It is considered a coping mechanism and survival strategy, helping victims deal with the trauma and fear they experience.

I am going to get started with daily devotions, including the rosary prayer.
I just wanted to make sure how willing are you to take part and/or advertise it to the Nostr network.
This is part of our daily routine.
