 Sounds like we are close to Throw-Away client-NSecs, which would be SUPER awesome... one could generate a new client-key on demand and work with it rather carelessly in our generally untrusted world... if necessity arises, just throw away the key and generate a net client-nsec!!

Did I get this right? If yes, I just imagine having a bunker running on my Umbrel (or several for the paranoid) and a Android-app that generates client-keys for me, when I need them... that would be a tremendous useabliity breakthrough for NOSTR imho!
🔥🔥🔥👏👏

 Yes, that's exactly the vision. Adding key rotation to nostr so newbies can improve their soverienty without needing to restart from scratch

 You know, I think this should be considered best practice also for experienced Nostriches... the nsec should imho never have to leave the nest.. ever! Then, if we are at that stage, we can begin building Apps that require security guarantees on Nostr. This is not viable right now!
Great work!!
