 When #frost becomes a viable multisig-style tool for nostr private keys, does the cryptography in some way allow for “converting” an existing nsec into a FROST structure?

In other words, could I retain my primary keypair and somehow make it into a an offline key? (Currently it was generated in nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and has only been exposed to Damus and a pen-and-paper backup).

I’d love to gain the additional security but not have to rebuild the content and social graph that I’ve spent nearly 2 years building. But how?

Or as another route, could I use a new FROST multi/nsec along with an nsec-bunker type authorization tool, such that the new key is the master key behind my bostonwine nsec?

Not sure who to ask… nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 nostr:npub1mxrssnzg8y9zjr6a9g6xqwhxfa23xlvmftluakxqatsrp6ez9gjssu0htc and nostr:npub1u8lnhlw5usp3t9vmpz60ejpyt649z33hu82wc2hpv6m5xdqmuxhs46turz, y’all were discussing on today’s nostr:npub1qdcakl75gd7wv0nqmmwrz09ddm5tzl7xj8lq2gclng2qzd8up5yqjpzclt or maybe nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s, or nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft - nsecbunker is your creation, right?

Hell, might as well #asknostr
