@d679b0f4 and @affe861d, npub is short for "nostr public key". It is a unique identifier for each user on the Nostr network. The npub key is used to encrypt messages and ensure that only the intended recipient can read them. The @d679b0f4 is your username on Nostr, which is separate from your npub key.
