 Hi all, Final from #GrapheneOS again.

Due to an extraordinary event (not a breach!) and a change causing me to up my security requirements, I have burned the previous npub I used. This is my new npub. My security requirements are above people's conveniences, I apologise for these inconvenience but I don't regret necessary actions either.

- I will use this npub for post comments and support.
- I will refrain from constant GrapheneOS reposts as Mastodon bridges fulfill that space. Rest of the team can also USUALLY see posts there. I believe I should be more diverse in my content here.
- In short, less GrapheneOS, and more Final.

I can be verified using the original Stacker News account (final) NIP-05, Bio and LN address.

I can be verified via the GrapheneOS discussion forum user page (final). You may also verify me in any official GrapheneOS platform you wish.

Thank you for the support.

-- final

 Followed. What other npubs should we follow from the #GrapheneOS team? I don't do the mostr bridges thing...

He was in Nostr before I was. 
 Cool, already following him--but looks like he left? No posts since April.  
 He has bursts of being quite busy. 
 ...for which we are grateful! 

keep up the great work!  
 I don't believe you unless 1) you provide links, and 2) you point to a post from your old npub indicating you control both profiles.

Otherwise GFY scammer 
 1. npub is burned, can't post what I don't have the keys for.

2. Official GrapheneOS forum page: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/u/final

3. https://stacker.news/final

Trust me or not, it's up to you. All zaps are going to the original address the old npub has as you can see on my profile so I earn nothing doing this.

You're free to contact another GrapheneOS team member.
 
 Thanks the links lend as much credibility as your old npub. It would be nice to have a better way to do npub key rotations. 
 I understand. I imagine I have really annoyed a ton of people but oh well. 

Key pairs for Nostr are great for verification but are a disadvantage towards certain security measures. Nsec is only as secure as the app that generated it and is only as secure as the least secure platform you stored/used it on. Takes a lot of responsibility, which I'm fine with, but most people aren't.

If you want to change security requirements (like me) you likely need to burn your key... I guess it's no different to PGP keys that expire on a set time but I'd really be waiting for a dedicated secure hardware signer before I ever share my Nostr nsec keys on any other app or device... and id probably also rotate my keys again if a device existed.  
 Why not create a new nsec/npub first, post from your original identity indicating the new npub, then burn your old npub? To just burn and start over with the same underlying identity, I would like to know why that is a preferable procedure? 
 That would be the standard procedure, but circumstances about the event meant I couldn't. Users should announce change of keys if able to. 
 Understood 
 This sounds ominous 
 If you had abducted the real guy, this is what you would say.  
 I didn't put the links as some people may have thought links may be phishing (IF YOU DO, GO FIND MY PAGES ON A SEARCH ENGINE INSTEAD! DONT TRUST ME!)

BUT, if you kinda trust me:

All zaps are going to the original address the old npub has as you can see on my profile so I earn nothing doing this if I was a real faker anyway. 


 
 As long as the old npub never posts again before quantum computers are a threat, I trust you. 
 If a nation state had been in my old phone I'd almost consider it a compliment because I am fucking boring 🫡
