Has anyone else noticed that bech32 encoded data (npub1, note, nevent, etc) has a lot of qqqqqqqq? I keep seeing q's everywhere. Is this confirmation bias?

Is it because they mine pubkey start with a lot of zero? Hex to npub will end up in a lot of qqq?

That's especially true for pubkeys and notes with PoW. Many leading zeroes in hex => leading qs in bech32.
