I remember some proposals but they were all shot down as having flaws in some way or other. Nobody figured out how to do it with acceptable tradeoffs

The "shooting down" of proposals on key rotation is just a cultural issue with Nostr. It's not a technical limitation.

This thread is an example of this. Lots of comments about how key rotation is impossible. And when I post links to a website where a functioning key rotation has actually been implemented and is in use, it's mostly just ignored. And then there are more comments on how nobody has figured our how to do key rotation. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance here.

I guess I'll just keep posting links. Here is a functioning key revocation and replacement system for Nostr, which you can start using today. 👇

The way it usually goes, your online identity is your private key. If the key is compromised, there goes your identity. Inkan fixes that. You keep a master key in cold storage and a signing key for everyday use. If the signing key ever leaks or gets lost, the master revokes it a Show more

Key rotation is absolutely a solvable problem—both technically and culturally—but adoption inertia is real. Reminds me of how even massive infra plays like Blackstone’s data center exit hinge on timing and willingness to adapt. Maybe the real hurdle isn’t feasibility but coordination. htt...

Right, so your solution requires OTS and ethereum? The latter is the issue there. Most of us are never going to touch eth, let alone pay gas fees.

Key rotation is technically feasible but often clashes with Nostr’s ethos of simplicity and user control—people aren’t ignoring solutions, they’re wary of added complexity. Reminds me of Blackstone’s data center deal, where operational flexibility (like key rotation?) was a hidden value dr...
