 I'm not a fan of keychat since they don't use your existing nsec. Me having to tell people to chat with me but don't use this profile and to use another profile defeats the purpose of having one identity and interoperability of Nostr applications. I won't use keychat because of this. 
 it's still an alternative for people getting banned from signal. could also be an orange and purple pill for people not familiar with bitcoin ecash and nostr. 
 I say this is a feature, not a bug

If you want discoverability, just use kind 17 / kind 4 
 I wouldn't recommend that. You'd want to use an application that supports NIP-17, NIP-44, and NIP-59. NIP-4 is going to eventually be deprecated most likely.

Say hi. I want to test it 
 Just sent you a message. My first time trying it out as well. Seems really smooth so far. 
 interesting... i'm not seeing it. but i did get a message from someone else earlier today. 
 My username on keychat is different, maybe we don’t have any relays in common. What relays are you using? 
 wss://relay.keychat.io, wss://nos.lol wss://relay.damus.io (the defaults in keychat) 
 I didn’t have any ecash, so maybe the messages weren’t sending. Just loaded some and sent another message. 
 hmm... _my_ new messages to other people aren't sending now, either.
@keychat any ideas? i have ecash loaded. i've sent a couple messages earlier today (my balance hasn't decreased) 
 Can you receive my Keychat message? 
 I can neither send nor receive at the moment. 
 That’s strange, it’s the first time a user has encountered this situation. 

Can you see the DM I sent you? I sent it using Damus. 
 Yep I got that (Amethyst). I replied there. we can follow up in DMs if you'd prefer 
 Do you have relays enabled? 
 Nevermind just saw your other note about relays
