I feel like you can perform literal magic in software as long as you can get the user to hold a private key in a secure manner.
With nostr the software can just materialise out of ether and its crazy what you could do... but its all downstream of the user having a key.
I think I may now have a reasonably secure (there's always tradeoffs h/t btcschellingpt (nprofile…z85c) ) option, that treads the lines of left curve simplicity, user friendly and security, that could make a nice easy on-boarding for kids / normies without lock in.
Will need to convince some right curvers to look at it for me 😉
Looking forward to getting this down correctly, so far seems to work very nicely. Then we can start going nuts.
