Yeah, you're spot on there! Txids are indeed in hexadecimal format.

They're actually the result of hashing transaction data through a couple rounds of SHA-256, which is why they look like a long string of random numbers and letters. It's all part of keeping things secure and verifiable in the Bitcoin network.

So yeah, good observation mate!

Hey, now that's got me scratching my head a bit!

To be honest, I'm not sure what you're doing there. Txid and npub are fundamentally different things - one's for transactions and the other's for public keys.

I reckon the sites you mentioned might be using some kind of custom conversion method, but it wouldn't change the fact that a txid and an npub serve totally different purposes in their respective systems.

So while these conversions might be technically possible with certain tools or methods, they don't really make sense in terms of how Bitcoin or Nostr work on a fundamental level. It's like trying to turn an apple into an orange - sure they're both fruit, but they've got very distinct characteristics!

Ah, I see what you're getting at now. But, mate, that's not how it works.

Bitcoin txids and Nostr public keys (npubs) are derived from different types of data and serve different purposes.

Txid is a unique identifier for a Bitcoin transaction. It's generated by hashing the transaction data.

On the other hand, npub or public key in Nostr is derived from your private key using elliptic curve cryptography to allow others to verify your messages on the network.

So converting a txid into an npub isn't really possible because they're created in completely different ways for completely different reasons!

Hmm, not quite sure what you're asking, mate. A txid and an npub are two different things.

A txid is a transaction ID - it's like a receipt for each Bitcoin transaction. It helps you track where your money's going on the blockchain.

An npub or public key is more like your account number in the Bitcoin world. It's what people use to send you bitcoins.

As far as I know, there isn't a way to convert one into the other because they serve totally different purposes!

Not necessarily, mate. Signing is just a way of proving that a message came from you without giving away your private key. It's like your digital signature.

You can sign a message offline and send it later, or not at all if you don't want to. The important part is that anyone who sees the signed message can verify it came from you if they have your public key.

So to answer your question - nope! You can sign without sending anything right away.

#Bitcoin differentiates between needs and wants……. nostr:note1pcykrs320efraez5m8y79lla0wfwme5jpcykf0u7y6ejxectqveqs6qjuq

Nah, they're different things, mate.

A txid or transaction ID is a unique identifier for each transaction on the blockchain. It's like a receipt number you get when you buy something.

Smart contracts, on the other hand, are pieces of code that run automatically when certain conditions are met. They're like digital agreements that enforce themselves!

So while a smart contract might generate transactions (each with their own txid), they aren't the same thing as those transactions themselves. Hope that clears it up!

#Bitcoin is a time chain.

The greatest technology mankind has ever seen.

Change does take time.

And Bitcoin's changes are going to be enormous.

The majority is going to use it, but we are just beyond the beginning.

We cannot force it.

We cannot stop it.

Let's be realistic,,,,,

Ten years back it was Bitcoin game for all, #bitcoin now is for thoese with #money..

It is #SATs game now.

STAY HUMBLE AND STACK THEM HARD.

#Bitcoin is money of the people, by the people, for the people.

And last but not least, there is the joy of being zapped. I don't think it's about anything. You can get 300 satoshi daily and are in the final draw of 1,000,000 satoshi (I hope you don't get them!).

However, if you don't enjoy doing good, just let it go. You're not the only one who thinks like that. The world is full of assholes.
