We need some form of private badges with selective disclosure. Badges should be issued privately and the receiver gets to decide if, when and how to show it around. Think employee access cards as badges with a selective disclosure option: show or not to show my employee number.
Is there a way to allow somebody else to mine a vanity prefix npub without letting them see the final private key? Here's my thinking. I create a new Private Key by myself and I share its public key with a miner. The miner must find the private key that, when its npub is summed into mine, creates the vanity prefix I want. In that case, I can then buy the private key out of the miner, sum with mine, and have a new private key. The miner wouldn't have access to the new private key. Does that work? Or am I missing something? Does that mean we can create trustless mining markets that people can just take orders to mine new Nostr Keys and sell them? 🤔
