Hi,
I accused a nostr profile on Friday of being an imposter because her Pubkey didnt match to the genuine users [twitter] verification post, nor the nostr directory entries. However, it is I believe a Hamstr bug actually. .
I discovered afterwards that my own pubkey on hamstr.to has the same issue. The beginning is correct, but the end characters are not!
As the example - The correct, verified, published npub1 key of Lyn Alden ends in "cw83a" :

Her Hamstr.to Pubkey ends differently:

source: https://hamstr.to/profile/npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a
They are both in nPub1 format, not hex.
Snort.social shows her pubkey correctly.

same issue exists with my pubKey also. and that is when I realized Lyn was not an imposter, but rather my client was giving bad output!


ie:My Pubkey ends in "ajsf0" and doesnt even contain the incorrect string "psmxu"

Please can someone verify if i am doing / seeing something wrong? Accusing the authentic user of being an imposter, Wasnt fun.

Thanks for your excellent nostr client!
