Nostr’s need for a master key is becoming increasingly necessary. Either a master key manages multiple nsecs, or the nsec itself becomes the master key and generates smaller delegated mini keys (msecs) for apps and devices to publish with. msecs can be rotated or revoked without touching the master key. This also allows the nsec (as the master key) to never touch any app or device.
