Currently one private key maps to a single public key. Why can't we have multiple public keys for a single private.
Let's say there are two nostr clients. One similar to linkedIn and another similar to Instagram. I want a single private key to access both clients but my public profile ought to be different. I wouldn't want all my LinkedIn guys on my Instagram.
Yes this can be achieved by having two separate private keys for both clients. I don't know why that should be the case. What difference does it make to security? Nobody really knows that these multiple public keys belong to the same private key. @fiatjaf
