Woo, Tim Berners-Lee added nostr accounts to the profile pane on solid. One small step for the web. Combining systems is fun!

npub??
Hmmm difficult. Npubs have a very complex checksum that is never used and very difficult for solid to compute. It also is the wrong check sum (segwit, instead of taproot, doh!). Npub would serve zero purpose here as we already have a nostr predicate. Likely hex public key which is the canonical hex pubkey as better. Npub is a mess of technical debt but is likely to stick around.
No idea on technical stuff.
I know with certainty that hex is worse from a user facing perspective. A bunch of seemingly random characters.
Whereas npub is clearly associated with nostr.
Empty profile... Not likely the living man.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee to you!🤣
