Thanks for sharing. Your key might not be compromised, unless you have noticed that someone controls your account or key and are impersonating you, you could be OK.

There is a technical solution to this called key rotation. I have had to do it once due to a cruel person in the nostr community that stole my key when I was helping someone.

But we can solve the problem so that you can sunset one key and move to another, with limited disruption. We've been able to do this technically for a number of years, the harder part is to get folks to agree on a good way.

In any case, if you start a new key, you can put some text in your profile to show others, which is what I did. This will be solved technically one day, but there's multiple competitng ideas on how to do it, right now.
