Hey Jon. I have some bad news. You entered your Nostr private key into your Nostr address field. A Nostr address is like an email address. It's not your private key. You've accidentally given the world access to your profile. Sadly the client that your using doesn't do any sort of field validation to stop this from accidentally happening. What can you do? You have to create a brand new set of keys and start over. I'm sorry this happened.

Crap, that's bad. I was hoping it was some other nsec. 😢

A handful of people do this. I see someone every couple of weeks. 😭

Ugh. Reminds me of BTC private key days.

Oh no!!!!

I starting using Open Vibe to try it

Have NFI how this happened

I actually thought I had a Nostr Plebs NIP ie jonbyrnebtc@nostrplebs.com

Is that still working

Thank you for bringing this to my attention
