No. The nonce is not required if you are doing deterministic ECDSA and, 
as pointed out earlier on this thread, using non-deterministic ECDSA is 
dangerous unless you are really sure of your source of randomness. The 
key sizes are matched to effective strengths, and the EdDSA effective 
strengths are determined to be about the same as for ECDSA.
