This NIP introduces a protocol for creating ephemeral events that are weakly tied to a public key, allowing ephemeral interactions without permanent attachment to the author's identity.

### TL;DR
This is a form of key delegation with "expiration" based on proof of work difficulty.
The main key generates a new key and uses the first chars of that new npub as a challenge. Anyone that solves that
challenge and finds an npub that matches it can publish as the main key. Because it is proof of work, it will become
easier and easier to solve over time. Which creates some form of plausible deniability for the author.
Clients have to warn users that the new key might not represent the author anymore based on the time it has passed and the proof of work required by the author.
