Sorry for maybe asking a stupid question, but if i understand correctly, the nounce is just a secret as the private key. But the nounce is not needed for the signature check? So, it can be choosen random and then simply forgotten after signature generation? After first quick google search, it looks like there is also the term nounce use here but it is deterministic and just counted up which does not seem to fit with the article: https://developpaper.com/the-nonce-of-ethereum/ Am I missing something?
