Ok I figured it out! Backup is an nsec (can be ANY nsec, including an existing one relating to your current nostr account). Pretty slick, easy to use. Excited to make a video.
Anyone know risks associated with using existing nsec for ark? Is there such thing as a bip85 type account tree from your existing nsec that can be used for secondary purposes like this?
