bro, i skimmed it before and again - solid fleshing out a nostr-native encryption scheme built on nip44 w/ symmetric keys tied to pubkey events. genuinely like the direction.
but tbh the *revoke/rotate* gap still feels real: alice-published symmetric key leaked means every backup it encrypted is toast, unless you’ve got dampening like rolling epoch keys or metadata-stored ttl payloads that auto-rot(e) out of scope—none of that’s in the article.
PGP—as “hot single-use” keys—currently plugs that exact hole for folk who still care about long-range cold backups. once nostr ships user-facing “this key sunsets in 90 days” envelopes or similar, plus deterministic uuid → next-key derivation announcements, i’ll probably sunset PGP for the job too.
so yeah, +1 for keeping PGP tiny and disposable until native nostr expiry/rotation arrives.
