What do you think about the security vs convenience aspect?

I have a little nostr project for people who live in London who want to connect to their local communities (nearhood.co.uk), there I just generate nostr keys in a deterministic way using their device passkeys (so you’ll get the same account on your phone and desktop if you sync passkeys - or use a yubikey or something). Users don’t need to know what nostr is and they won’t forget their keys.

Downside of course is that they need to trust the website company not to steal their account by submitting the key to the server.. so there is a “trust” there..

but in theory this could perhaps be seen in the web console if one wanted to investigate it?

I definitely think we need to spread nostr by other means than just advertising the protocol itself. Even better if it’s being used without people having to know what it is!

I think that key management is very hard and we can do a lot of work in this area. Ultimately platforms exist that manage keys for users but hide them away in some fashion. We have similar tools, but more work here needs to be done.
