It can fork, but only root authorized lineage matters. Clients follow the highest valid branch.
And agreed. Right now everyone’s still pretending long lived hot keys are fine.
That’s the idea. Cold master key, derived epoch keys.
The difference is continuity comes from cryptographic lineage, not NIP-05 or client remapping. Those are optional conveniences, not the foundation.
They improve key hygiene, not identity survivability. CRI separates authority from usage so compromise doesn’t end the identity. They are solving different problems.
Frost and Bunker are signing tools. Cold Root Identity is about how identity survives compromise over time. Different layer of the stack.
Frost or Bunker could implement it cleanly, but the article is about fixing the identity failure mode, not choosing a signer.
Key rotation on Nostr is not a feature request. It’s not some abstract future problem. It’s the core design flaw sitting under everything we’ve built.

Sleeping. I’m sick as a dog
Hahaha I’m gonna add ads for Google to my articles
When did it become normal that half of the articles on news sites be paywalled?
If I put a case on it would they even know what it is?
You do not need a threat model to understand that systems you don’t control will eventually act against your best interests. Not out of malice, but just because of incentives.

Here is a orientation page if it helps

Don’t over complicate things. It’s not about becoming invisible. It’s about controlling your own data.
What’s the little green number next to the names? Trust score?
I think bitcoin is stuck. Everyone unplug and plug back in their nodes.
Control your own border.

Round 2. Pull up AdGuard and watch all the data exhaust coming off Netflix
A real example. A major bank suspended mobile banking access because a user installed a password manager from outside the approved app store funnel. No malware. No breach. Just deviation. This is access being revoked because control was never yours to begin with. The bank did not assess intent or outcome. It enforced policy. That is how modern infrastructure works. You are allowed to use the system only while behaving exactly as expected.

Supposedly HSBC is blocking people who downloaded Bitwarden from F-Droid instead of the “official” play store
While some platforms can tunnel user generated DNS over VPN, this does not eliminate startup races, OS fallback behavior, or background resolution outside the tunnel. I am intentionally being stricter.
What’s pigeon post?
Idea: icecream but with vitamin gummies in it so people can indulge but feel like they are getting something healthy
Good feedback. I honestly thought I was keeping it basic. Maybe I should do a beginner orientation series. Luckily it’s not about tech, it’s about control
The modem problem is frustrating. It seems intentional.
Your ISP hands you a box that does everything. Modem. Router. WiFi. Surveillance.
Get your own router.

I hope my wife likes what I got her
Got the roast in the oven!
Would you need anything in addition to NIP-03? https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/03.md
NIP 03 is sufficient for time anchoring. It doesn’t cover identity survival.
Time based attestation gives history gravity. Key lineage gives agency. You need both, but they solve different failure modes.
Verification proves a moment.
Key based identity proves continuity.
That difference is the whole game.
Great work 🥳 Keep working hard.
Unimaginable crimes documented for years without consequences for the criminals. Gas lighting, obstruction, and absolute refusal for transparency.
Start a blog they said. It'd be fun they said.
I’m going with up charge. I’m trying to limit the zip tied loops of cable behind my pile
Why is 6ft cat 8 the same price as 1.5 ft of cat 8? Why is two 6ft cat 6 only a dollar more than one 4ft cat 6?
I feel like it’s the hotdogs and hotdog buns mismatch all over again
So now that the files are finally coming out I guess it’s too much to hope that actual arrests will follow. Or are we still on the Epstein acted alone and didn’t have clients?
Dear DOJ,
If the original text still exists in the file, it is not redacted. Anyone can copy paste, extract text, or view layers.
The shear incompetence.
