Haha I think despite the dip into the stash you’re on to something
Using a signing extension to manage your keys could have prevented this as it prevents you from directly pasting your nsec into a client and extension can manage multiple key pairs so the ability to manage multiple key identities already exists at the technical level
My ideal set up would look something like this:
- main npub used experimentally to manage all key pairs (ie, it’s your social public facing profile that can sign all events and claim sub identities)
- a very secure key pair used only with an external hardware signer (in the works- maybe something like seed signer proto or the one that seems to be in beta trial by LNbits)… you’d want to use this for very important things only as your keys would be kept “cold offline” after being generated with a key generator
- linked ephemeral identities (you could use these temporarily and anonymously- if you ever wanted to claim them, you could use your main pub to sign for those events later saying “hey I can prove I was xyz anon back in 2025, etc” but those keys would be discarded after temporary use
- anonymous chats (ephemeral identities would be good for this as no one would be able to prove this was you in the chat so long as your using all the other methods needed to stay anonymous outside of just general key generation)
All v possible and being used at minimal levels already
