Inkan does not interfere with the Nostr protocol's ability to do the following:

"creating verifiable messages with nothing other than a private key"

It uses the regular protocol to create messages whose signature is verifiable with nothing other than a private key. Inkan's events just are regular Nostr events, no difference here.

Now the regular Nostr protocol (without blockchain-based OTS) completely fails to verify the time at which an event is created, and it also fails to verify the time at which keys make or revoke delegations of signing authority to other keys. Inkan verifies these things.

Your main objection seems to be that Inkan uses something "other than cryptography" to verify these things. I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to, but maybe it is the decentralized mechanism used by blockchains to give events objective placement in time. This is of course the essential functionality that blockchains have contributed to the world, the very thing that makes cryptocurrencies possible.

If Nostr does not avail itself of this blockchain-based timestamping mechanism, there is no way to maintain a Nostr identity that is secured by keys kept in permanent cold storage. If Nostr uses this mechanism, there is a way to maintain such a cold storage identity.

I'm not really convinced that this mechanism is something "other than cryptography." Isn't blockchain-based timestamping a cryptographic concept?

Also, I'm not convinced that use of this mechanism leads to lesser independence. I'd say the ability to maintain a cold storage identity gives you greater independence.

So if "independence" is the core value you were referring to, I'd argue that Inkan is a way for the Nostr protocol to better realize that value.
