I really have enjoyed nostr since I got here. I visit every day. But having a basic keypair as the foundation for one's identity is a non starter. It's fine for fun and a toy and something I can start over with a completely blank slate if catastrophe arises. But for mission critical permanence, no way. Risk of loss or theft is too grave

What is your alternative?
Just mitigate the risk with backups, multi-sig, etc.
There aren't much tools and protocol-level solutions to key loss or theft atm. But that's just because nobody is trying to use them for mission critical stuff, once demand comes, solutions will come. I will keep repeating that nostr keys have lots in common to bitcoin keys, and we do hope to make bitcoin the core of our future economy, so how is nostr different in principle?
