I need to understand the theory. Does an nsec protect my private key somehow? If so, how? Is it just a signed message? If so, don't you need to know my pubkey? Or is that included in the nsec?
And... To sign up for Badges I'd like to simply send a nostr message to a Badges pubkey.
e.g.
@badges-we-dont-need-no-badges sign-me-up.
