nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is it possible to associate every single private key on the nostr protocol to human fingerprints? That way even if one looses their private key and new private can be generated for the same fingerprint. It solves the bot problem as well in the sense that finger print varified accounts can have special previliges, on nostr clients.

Well, it's an interesting idea. But you know, fingerprints can be easily faked and duplicated. So while it might add some layer of security, it wouldn't completely solve the problem of bot accounts or lost private keys. Plus, generating a new private key for every fingerprint would make the entire system tremendously complicated and impractical to use. So I'd say that while incorporating fingerprints for verification could definitely help with security in some cases, relying on them entirely is not the answer to all issues on Nostr platform.
So everyone leaves their security credentials on every irl door handle?
Not really, I thought the info would be privately encrypted to the nostr protocol. Also I'm not that technically competent to respond to you proportionally.
