- AljoschaMeyer 10y agoYou can also use the same keypair on multiple devices. This however results in another problem: You could post content from both devices simultaneously. But the underlying protocol requires each message to refer to the previous message by the same identity. So if two different devices post a message without having received the message of the other one, one of the messages is considered invalid.
