so I rugged myself
lost my nsec
looking for people to lecture me about responsible backup procedures and mnemonic writing and nostr self-ownership if possible
I wrote a mnemonic down and wrote it wrong, or wrote the wrong one, or something. I dunno. Ever look for your keys forever and find them in the fridge? And wonder if it could actually be elves or something? That's what this is like. I can't believe I did it. But I did.
Anyway, here I am, back, with a new npub and nsec, and I've tested whether I can recover it with the mnemonic this time, not just written it down.
so just FYI
The old stacker profile nym is now @UCantDoThatDotRugged (it was still logged in on my phone but will logout one of these days)
I've transferred ownership of territories to this one, now aptly named @UCantDoThatDotNet
I prove this new one here is really me, and not some equally ascerbic imposter who has murdered me for my laptop and phone, by putting this new npub on my website ucantdothat.net, and also my alby address is connected to the new npub.
If that's not enough proof for you, I can meme your shit up right, son

Sympathies/condolences. I did this to myself back when I was into Nano and reset a phone to troubleshoot it while being 100% sure I'd written down the phrase correctly. That's 30 shitcoins I'll never see again, and I have a constant fear I'll repeat that with my current BTC collection. Really hope that correct mnemonic turns up.
(As an aside, I think about the number of times I've lost physical keys to places, and man does the concept holding my own keys not quite give me the confidence it should.)
