# Generate a new airgapped Nostr key via SeedSigner (npub17ty…3mgl)



SeedSigner has tools onboard to generate new bitcoin keys.


Can use image entropy, dice rolls, pick words out of a hat.


Backup your new seed.


Optionally transcribe it to SeedQR so you can quickly load it back into SeedSigner.


Optionally add a BIP-39 passphrase.


Now comes the *experimental* Nostr section!


We use NIP-06 to derive your Nostr key from your bitcoin key.

Let's export our Nostr pubkey to a client app.


Select your export format.


Preview the output.


Show the pubkey QR code to your Nostr client.


Hopefully we can then use #nip26 and keep your new key's privkey safely offline.

But if you need to export the privkey, that's supported, too.

_CAVEATS: This is all just an experimental SeedSigner dev branch. I built this branch just to show what's possible. Maybe it will make sense to release it as an officially-supported SeedSigner feature. Maybe not._
