Choose a better domain name for "local key" #499

Open justinabrahms opened 1 year ago

~We use the term petname to refer to a human-memorable did. In noosphere, however, we call them local keys. I think this is less obvious than petname, so I propose we change it.~

Do we have a better phrase than local-key? As you can see, I found it confusing.

Is this in reference to the CLI flag --local-key?

If so: no, I don't have a better name in mind, but I'm very open to alternatives.

The spirit of "local key" is: a device key, aka a key the user has on hand on the immediate device (that is, the one they are holding in their hand) that they can use to sign data with.
