I tried to find out what key algorithm is used -- not listed anywhere. Everything led to pages about Blech32 (a bitcoin key encoding).
https://hellonostr.dev/en/introduction/ https://hellonostr.dev/en/introduction/
The encoding seems to have an unmentioned/unaddressed version number included, both in the nostr doc and the bitcoin docs.
npub1abcxyz... is npub (header) 1 (version) abcxyz... (key)
Now take a look at the doc (linked above.)
- vnuge 1y agonip01 defines the use of secp256k1. Again, the same as bitcoin.
