The problem with regular Nostr keys is that you have to keep them "hot" on online devices for everyday use (posting or replying to events etc.), which is extremely insecure. You can, however, get a true cold storage Nostr identity with Inkan, see below.

The way it usually goes, your online identity is your private key. If the key is compromised, there goes your identity. Inkan fixes that.

You keep a master key in cold storage and a signing key for everyday use. If the signing key ever leaks or gets lost, the master revokes it and delegates to a new one. Same identity, same followers, fresh signing key.

If you'd like to take a look at the prototype: https://www.inkan.cc. Log in with your NIP-07 extension and say hi to the test identities already walking around. Or make one of your own.
