Standardize a BIP85 Derivation Path for Nostr Keys

[ethicnology]

The title is explicit, bip85 is great, let's standardize a derivation path for Nostr Keys.

This would be very helpful to manage multiple identities over Nostr secured by the same mnemonic.

Derivation path should start after initial bip85 index (83696968') so m/83696968'/1984'/{index}' where index represent the identity of your key

first identity/keys would be 1984'/0', the second 1984'/1' and so on

What do you think?

Isn't that already on NIP-06? https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/06.md

It seems to derive directly from BIP32 without BIP85 but I may be wrong

[vitorpamplona]

Frankly, I failed to understand the differences between all these BIPs.

I don't get the use case for having multiple keys and a standard derivation method for them. NIP-06 was a mistake.
