Pair this with Frostr and we'll really be cooking.
After more than 2 years in existence, there is still no reliable nip46 signer. There is a tension between self-custody and reliability of the signer: you either keep the keys on your device (which is unreliable, especially on mobile), or you upload the keys to a signer server (which usually means you are 100% trusting the server to not steal your keys). To learn more about the issue, read here.
AWS Nitro enclaves promise to solve the problem of lack of trust for a particular service. The code running inside an enclave is fully isolated by AWS from the person launching it. The attestation signed by AWS and reproducible open-source code let anyone verify what exactly is happening inside the enclave (as long as one trusts AWS VM infrastructure). For a signer server in particular, this means there's much less chance for your keys to be stolen or hacked. Add to the mix a tie to npubs of people who built and launched the service, and you can use Nostr and WoT to discover and interact with provably safe services running inside AWS enclaves. The noauth-enclaved is the first prototype of such service.
That's what I'm talking about!
We are working on first Frostr signing integration with nip46 right now.
Nitro Enclaves + key distribution + remote signing is probably close to the ideal for great Nostr key security & ease of use
(this would be also goated for Lightning key distribution, just need VLS)

I'm over here copying and pasting a couple of nsecs from my obsidian into nos2x.
Please save me.

sorry, it's just too funny how little Nostr—the protocol we're supposedly rebuilding the entire internet and our digital identities on—cares about key management, I hope you find it as funny as I do
@bitcoinplebdev is like nostr jesus to me

waiting...

Don't wait! We have a working demo of Frostr with 2 signing clients (check out my demo video on the website)
Be careful when testing though, don't use your real nsec until you understand the process!

https://nstart.me has already been doing this for months. But we need more projects on this direction, so good!

nstart has been working on FROST for nostr keypairs? Or are you talking about nip46 nitro enclaves integration?

Amber has terrible UX and the maintainer is not communicating well.
