Why have you introduced nsec on several sites? Nostr may have problems but this is not one of them, there are several solutions to solve what you are talking about.

There are some extensions like Alby that help you manage that on Desktop but not on mobile. And even then, you are basically relying on a hat wallet.

I don't use nostr on mobile, so I don't know what the state of the art is. But I do know that the Alby extension works in Firefox on android. I don't know if nostr2x also works. Yes, it works as a "hot wallet".

Pretty much this. If you're pasting your nsec into clients you're doing it wrong. If you're using a native client and you don't trust it, don't use it. If you're using a web client, you should be using nos2x or Alby or some other nsec-managing extension.

Sorry man, but Alby and nos2x are still hot wallets. Why would I trust Alby over client xyz. If you have your nsec in Alby I wouldn’t feel secure building out my online identity based on this

Hmm, so you would want "hardware wallets" for nostr? I think there is such a device. I'll find a link later.
