If you had a way to preserve your nostr identity so that you could recover from someone compromising your nsec and it required writing a note in your nostr client, would you do it?

Repost for visibility, want to see what people think.

absolutely. im curious how this would be handled though?
Gzuuus · 156w
Looks simple, so yes
Force2B · 156w
Yep
Mike Dilger ☑️ · 156w
Does it require putting something on a blockchain somewhere?
atyh · 156w
depends on how that note is validating, what is being stored, and where
Bohemia · 156w
Yes
Kc · 156w
I'd do it.

Sooo not sure if this input helps but I've always wondered why we can't create revocation keys or add expirations to the nsec for this exact reason. I like the notify of new key proposal but if we already have a workflow that works for gpg keys, then why not adopt it?

Sure.

I think there should an application that someone could use to inspect if his or her nsec is not compromised.
Afolabi · 156w
If the application is possible, time lock event can be initiated if the account is found compromised. Doing that will enable the rightful owner to perform reset on his or her account.
Ryan Wilkins · 156w
What ways are you thinking?
realjode · 156w
Yeah , why not ? Seems like a good idea
Bitcoin Samurai · 156w
No, I would just create a new anonymous identity nsec.
Highsselhoff · 156w
Yes.
Onyx🖤 · 156w
Definitely

This makes sense to me, nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft... Have you gotten any strong objections or criticisms?🧐🤔😯

A 2fa solution where you would sign a bitcoin address you own and it's set in your profile could also be used to nuke old npub and change to new, new profile would sign the same btc address.
Saberhagen The Nameless · 156w
sounds dope
a source familiar with the matter · 156w
nope
nicnym · 156w
that means giving up sovereignty over your nsec so, no thanks
Willy Cooper · 156w
I don't even care honestly. I would just start again.
Jack⚡️ · 156w
If your nsec is compromised, isn't that gg? Would you basically recover your note history to a new nsec while some other POS is masquerading as yourself? I'm very interested to see what comes of this because I'd hate to "start over" god forbid.

Yes.
pukka · 155w
Yes
Kamo Weasel · 155w
Nsec + Passphrase 😅 (NIP-39?)
