I say this because I just went to desktop to post a video and realized I wasn’t signed in and then decided it wasn’t worth it and went on to other work.
I don’t have my nsec just lying around b...
So I guess you considered #Frost if you have been thinking about this for a long time but you haven't mentioned it. Why?
Key rotation on the nsec level will hardly be a thing unless there's some cryptographic breakthrough because it would centralize the protocol, see PLC in atprotocol and such.
You basically must centralize key lineage tracking to a trusted party but that just doesn't go well in a distributed system.
Frost shard-based signing UX can be very stable and fairly revocable, it's just not yet spread so much.
Social rotation is the other way, it's been talked about many times. It is a viable alternative in a network like nostr, especially if communities get more popular.
The reason why there's not too much anxiety over this is just the fact that there's not yet enough demand I think for nostr in general.
We're building things out and if there's real pressure in the future from economically relevant users accruing, at some point it's gonna be figured out.
