 Yes, they are exactly the same idenity except nostr starts "npub" and taproot starts "bc".  Both use schnorr sigs.  So that means that all nostr accounts are all wallets, and all taproot accounts can participate in nostr social and apps.  Nostr has a distributed ledger with best in class consensus via taproot.  Any nostr user can send money to any other nostr user, they just dont do it, or are not aware.  On top of that all of the layer 2 solutions that emerge on bitcoin, rgb, taproot assets, runes, omni, colored coins, liquid, smart contracts, can be used with nostr, and vice versa.  Again this is not used at the moment, but it unlocks a huge amount of functionality.  Whether or not the current community wants that functionality, I dont know.  But there is enormous untapped potential.

 Most nostr keys are wildly insecure. I'd hate for someone to use my nostr key as my wallet and send me money, because it would possibly be easily stolen by some third party.

To make use of any of that, people should signal somehow that their keys are secure enough for those purposes.

 So ordinal inscriptions could exist on nostr, at least nostrized ordinal inscriptions?

 we built this over a year ago - bitcoin + ordinals wallet on your nostr key. there wasn’t much demand for it though, and some maxis got really mad

 but some people used it and minted inscriptions like these frogs for a tiny lightning payment, and now the frogs are worth like $2k each so we kinda had the last laugh

 Neat. I understand ordinals is a word that's touchy with people around here. Still, innovation and creating and building! My thought is that stupid jpg mints will play themselves out, or not, whatever the market/people decide. Also, I think it's less about jpg nfts and more about the other stuff that might could be built some day. Any link to the project?

 the website is https://deezy.place

it’s also a decentralized marketplace that uses nostr to publish listings. but warning we aren’t doing much more development on it these days and prob will shut it down

 Ok finally found it and it doesn't seem as simple as was explained. They are the same standard, but it isn't hashed to the same size, which just looking at it should've triggered to me that it was longer than a normal address just by character count. However it does seem to be the case that you can generate taproot addresses from the nsec and/or use your bitcoin wallet to also generate a Nostr ID with relative ease. But the degree of connection i posted above doesn't seem to check out in practice. 

Post that was suggesting the beginning could just be swapped, when it seems like it needs to be hashed differently, but the rest of the description of it seems to be correct:

A post discussing the differences and how to generate addresses or npubs from each other:

 Yeah. If that were as clean cut as initially thought. That would be incredible! Even the ability to take an existing wallet and somehow convert that to an npub would be incredible so that organizations and institutions that had a wallet could have a public identity and you could verify the wallet with the identity or vice versa.

 Yes, I over simplified, apologies.  You need a checksum too.  Though I dont even think the checksum is used.
