Also, I still haven't figured out how I can generate a public key from a private key offline, i.e. other than pasting the private key into a client or into a browser extension. Even having pasted the private key into a browser extension (nos2fox), the extension does not generate the public key in a format that can be copied and pasted. Would be nice to a have an easy one-stop solution for generating a keypair offline in a format where both keys can be easily copied and pasted.

Key creation: Not so easy if you want to do it offline. Had to use a combination of openssl and key-convertr in linux, and the latter needed to be downloaded and installed, along with cargo, etc., i.e. lots of tinkering with software I had never heard about.

Thought I'd kick things off with some notes on the experience up to this point:

Here goes is the first note. Hello everyone!
