What’s the difference between a pubkey and a user? Aren’t they one and the same?? How does @primal determine this? #nostr 
Discussion
A user can have multiple npubs.
This might eventually be the norm. One ID for professional stuff, one for personal, another for gaming/hobbies, etc.
Makes sense
What comes to my mind here is, how does Nostr handle orphaned npubs? I guess, not at all, right? They simply accumulate over time.
That’s what I would think.. how do they define a user? A npub that consistently posts notes??
I'd rather see it as npub=identity.
The term user has no relevance in these environments anymore. Only as an abstract term like for UX/UI things.
Imagine a shizo having several npubs and each of his personalities doesn't even know of the others 😀
