Iβve been reading various fiat world specs that seem to require a lot of voodoo. I think itβs pretty simple in the end, and not that different from (identical to) what is already done in the bitcoin world.

Oh cool. I have been reading up on KERI (key event receipt infrastructure) and hierarchical key derivation (bip32 I think). It wouldnβt be that difficult. Iβve started to prototype the mechanisms to prove the concept out.

I vibed a concept signer that does exactly this a year ago but it was just a mock, missing all of the actual cryptography.

I am thinking about creating the concept of a βcpubβ or child public key of a root npub. The idea is that the cpub can be provably traced back to a npub. I can have as many cpubs as I want, that map back to the same βidentityβ. If a cpub keypair gets compromised, I can publish an event that invalidates that cpub.
As for clients, when they see what is a cpub, they can resolve back to the root npub and present that identity instead.
The driving requirement is to have a protected root npub that corresponds to my identity; it is high-value so I only want to sign with it when absolutely necessary - keeping it on a hardware signer device.
Any comments on this approach?

I managed to get the kind 0 profile info for any npub to show up as DNS TXT entries for service records, e.g., _nip05, _lud16, _name, etc.
What this means is that any npub and its profile info is globally resolvable using the existing DNS system.
Below is showing my nip05 info being resolved.

The whole AGI narrative was kind of hilarious and sad. Never going to happen.

The biggest thing I learned when field testing my own stuff. Merchants just see it as another form of payment. Theyβll price their products in their local currency. Youβll make a decision whether to buy based on the price in the local currency.
And another thingβ¦
The merchants donβt give a crap what app you use, they just want to see the green checkmark on their end.
If we want broad adoption, letβs keep it simple, folks.

Niiiice. The David Lynch weather reports are now on nostr. All we need now is a bot to post them on corresponding days lolol.
