Waterdan on Nostr: It’s even harder than BTC private key protection because the moment you suspect ...
It’s even harder than BTC private key protection because the moment you suspect that your BTC key is leaked, you can transfer remaining fund to another key. This is achievable because BTC requires global strong consistency.
Nostr trades consistency with availability by design so that it’s impossible to transfer the ownership of events.
This problem is just so damn hard.
