>Use of Schnorr signatures leaks private key on key re-use. While in Bitcoin you can avoid key reuse (and it is recommended to do so to improve privacy), the situation with nostr is the opposite: you can't avoid re-using the same key thousands - and even hundreds of thousand times, meaning that eventually each popular Nostr account will be hacked in a matter of year or so.
NOSTR is so fucking cooked in the long run ☠️
Potential vulnerability in nostr if you post alot with the same npub
