I think I have addressed most of your points in the write up.

Thanks for the write up.

One thing I’m currently not super convinced on is a wallet mainly based on nostr. More specifically a wallet that stores critical data within nostr without any sort of reliable fallback.

It doesn’t have to be a wallet based on nostr. You just need some relays in the settings and a library that could be used for several things. Electrum uses it for submarine swaps.

Is there any information on that. I have never heard of NIP-17 seeing big adoption. If the NIP is mainly used for Stealth Addresses this would be a form of metadata leak.

I am not sure about the adoption however I use it in amethyst often. It has solved the metada leak issues.

Whitenoise uses NIP-EE or MLS that you may find interesting: nips/EE.md at b516adbf423a120045e07adf5358ae69f190f3c8 · nostr-protocol/nips · GitHub

I will work on an electrum plugin that can be used to test this concept with a bitcoin wallet. I would call them color addresses that use colors as HRP instead of npub.
