Appreciate the thoughtful reply.
and so I personally plan on starting from scratch with a Sanctum originated key once I consider Nostr usable enough for social to care
I've considered this as well, and might do it at some point.
Such an app won't be able to do anything more than make a post that says you're burning the current key, follow me at the new key... there's no way around the fact its going to be a new identity that requires repointing.
You know way more about this stuff and me so I yield to your expertise. The thing I don't understand is how it is done over at Hive. I changed my private keys there after the fork from Steem (the Hive private keys were the same as with Steem and Tron, yikes! talk about scary). Though I changed to new keys, I'd saved the old ones. I just tried those old ones, and as expected they no longer work. I don't know, maybe Nostr a different animal altogether.
Hive is a unique client using Nostr but not necessarily compatible with other Nostr clients, that's where the hard fork analogy comes in re: NIP26, which is how they do it
It's possible they end up doing really well with it and other apps start to use NIP26 to benefit from shared network effect, but as of now there's a lot of reasoning outlined above for other Nostr apps try other things

Wait what? I was referring to the hive.io chain. There's a Hive "unique client using Nostr" with that name?

Conflation on my end, I mean Minds... somehow transposed those names in my head
