I'm testing #Nostrwritter, a way to post in #Nostr and Twitter at the same time!
(https://nostrwitter.onrender.com)
Use be careful because you need to provide your NSEC.
Do your own research before using it.
Discussion
Nice! BTW, how did you get your nostr address? It is supposed to be random and you have Litterally almost only Q's in there at the first part.
In #Nostr, you have two parts: a private key and a public key.
To use this tool you have to provide the private key, hence the warning that you do so at your own risk and/or do your own research.
This is what you mean by your address?
Uhm no, sorry, but I meant your public "user name", which is qqqq9:andmore
Ok, that "user name" is associated with my private Key, it's like an alias, Nostr identifies the alias because I can sign the Nostr event with the correct private key (mine in this case). I hope I was able to explain.
So you could get any alias you want, as long as you can sign it with your private key?
mmm, I think I'm getting it.
The private key has a public key, which in my case looks like npub1qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq9t....., that key is derived from my private key and is unique.
My handle: @Decentralized, can be changed to @Johndoe if I want, but what I can't change is the public key using the same private key, they are a unique pair.
How big are the odds of getting a qqqqq9 public key?
It can be achieved with an acceptable effort. I mined it using Rana:

Difficulty of 30 and more or less 8 hours. Look for more details about how to use Rana in the GitHub.
Oh okay
In https://mynostr.space you can find some basic information
When you reply to me I see that the entire first part before the colon if filled with 0's, is that normal?
Of my alias
I don't know which client you are using (I am using https://nostrgram.co/ on Desktop, and Nostros on Android). But I see that you have not filled in your profile data.
Review in your client what data it asks for, and filled a nickname and the data you want and the client allows.
If you have doubts in mynostr.space (under construction) you might find something else, like verification (nip05) or you can also see it in https://usenostr.org/ (more complete data).
Probando ⚡️
Nice
