Once you get used to managing your regular key pair, you may at some point become interested in replaceable keys, i.e. keys that you you can revoke if they are ever lost or stolen and replace with new ones.

I implemented a system for doing this at https://www.inkan.cc. Other nostr users tell me that the system is too complicated, especially for people who are just getting started with nostr. I don't really think so, but I guess it depends on one's preferences. In any event, I wanted to let you know that there's a way of doing this if you are, or ever become, interested. See below for a bit more info and some screenshots. 👇

The way it usually goes, your online identity is your private key. If the key is compromised, there goes your identity. Inkan fixes that.

You keep a master key in cold storage and a signing key for everyday use. If the signing key ever leaks or gets lost, the master revokes it and delegates to a new one. Same identity, same followers, fresh signing key.

If you'd like to take a look at the prototype: https://www.inkan.cc. Log in with your NIP-07 extension and say hi to the test identities already walking around. Or make one of your own.
