Hey Jon. I have some bad news. You entered your Nostr private key into your Nostr address field. A Nostr address is like an email address. It's not your private key. You've accidentally given the world access to your profile. Sadly the client that your using doesn't do any sort of field validation to stop this from accidentally happening. What can you do? You have to create a brand new set of keys and start over. I'm sorry this happened.
Crap, that's bad. I was hoping it was some other nsec. 😢
A handful of people do this. I see someone every couple of weeks. 😭
Ugh. Reminds me of BTC private key days.
Oh no!!!!
I starting using Open Vibe to try it
Have NFI how this happened
I actually thought I had a Nostr Plebs NIP ie jonbyrnebtc@nostrplebs.com
Is that still working
Thank you for bringing this to my attention
Your Nostr Plebs NIP-05 ID / Nostr Address still exists. Maybe whenever your started using OpenVibe you accidentally put your private key into the wrong field. Shit. I'm sorry man.

Users should not be able to save their Nostr addresses to anything other than a valid user@domian.com. Thanks!
Thanks brother
The danger is I can lose access to funds in my wallet right?
Also my identity
I will sort out this evening
Oh I am terribly sorry that this happened. We will add the check to all profile fields to ensure this wont happen again. Thanks for bringing this up Derek
