@vagrantc@floss.social Thanks for the praise, it fills our hearts with a nice warm and fuzzy feeling when we hear that people are happy with the tools we develop! 😃 Thanks also for your criticism! You are right; the SSH Agent might not have been the best choice here for the long term. It regularly causes confusion. But we also can't change that on a whim. You know, we have a 1.0.0 out, want to batch breakage, and all that 😊

@vagrantc@floss.social Radicle only supports Ed25519 keys. If your card does Ed25519, it should be fine to use as your user identity. However, it is currently not possible to use your smartcard for the Radicle node process, since it does ECDH and encryption in a way that is not supported by SSH Agent. It is technically already possible to use two different keys for your user ID and node ID, see `radicle-node --secret`. The UX is not polished, so unless you're adventurous, please wait until we release it.
