Running Flotilla now it performs tens of thousands of requests to my signing extension.

I'm only part of two groups: Damus and Flotilla.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. I tried with the nostria signer and wasn't able to replicate. My guess would be that the signer is rejecting the get_public_key requests, preventing the pubkey from getting cached, resulting in the nip 46 signer trying again forever. Flotilla should already be detecting signing failure and reporting it to the user. I suppose I could detect excessive requests and set some sort of error state, but this seems more likely to be a signer bug to me.

I can't replicate this using the nostria signer. I do have someone else reporting this issue, but without logs or something I don't know what else I can do. I've not seen this on nos2x, alby, amber, or primal signer.

Thanks, I'm not seeing it again so not sure what happened. Thanks for investigating!
