What to explain

Key management in practice: NIP-07 browser extension signers (window.nostr, getPublicKey/signEvent); NIP-46 remote signing over relays (bunker:// URIs, encrypted request/response events between client and signer); NIP-49 encrypted private key export (scrypt + XChaCha20); and NIP-05/NIP-19 handles for pointing at signers. The theme: the secret signs, everything else only asks.

This book is part of the series "Nostr Implementation Possibilities" (book 7 of 10) β€” pass --series "Nostr Implementation Possibilities" --series-order 7 to video.mjs. Depends on the nostr viz toolkit (PR #120) being merged.
