Is anyone working on a project to...
1) Mobile nostr client (e.g. Amethyst, Damus, Amber) to start
2) Import/Export private key/nsec to a NFC card (even simply stored clear text)
This still uses the native mobile apps for signing, but is creating some form of physical backup.
Now take this further, and yes you could incorporate nfc card readers for desktop and browser... how about cards preinitialized?
Yes, the creator will have those keys as well, but there are real world use cases where this is warranted. Organizations with key issuance and escrow comes to mind.
I know there's all kinds of pros and cons to unencrypted storage like this, ability to copy etc, Im just curious what, if any, projects are exploring naive approaches like this, easier to mass rollout vs actual physical signing devices.
My gut thinks this is wasteful, and that the real solution for custodial masses will simply be the same old custodial control we've had in the past. Im just not sure if global focus should be on identity issuance, self identity, self signing, or full sovereignty
