 Hmmm… so valid nostr npubs are all supposed to be ‘even’ (y coordinate is always even)? I was wondering about that because the pubkey is 32 byte hex, while ‘compressed keys’ are supposed to be 33 bytes where the first byte denote odd or even (0x03 or 0x02). Do all of the nsec generation algorithms generate to even points only?
