as a nostr newbie this was my first real stumble:

half the apps ask you to paste your private key to log in.
nip-07 signers (browser extensions) don’t work on mobile.

if nostr adoption spikes via bitchat, that’s a major disaster waiting to happen.

would you ever paste your private btc key to move funds?
then why paste your nsec just to post?
This idea exists already, and i dont like it. Il see if i can do a better explaination of what i think how we should approach this whole key/identity issue to begin with. Spoiler: Identity =/= pubkey, and it is people that assume that is the case is the root of all the issues imo.
