~/nostr_client_relay/src$ grep -r "npub"
~/nostr_client_relay/src$ grep -r "nsec"Clearly this tool generates a key pair, but it doesn't convert it to the npub and nsec format. Perhaps this is something I should also do. I already have the .pem files and the DER encoded key pairs. If I recall correctly, I even had it represented at a seed phrase at one point. That should be enough to get the secret out of the router. Perhaps I can just let other tools convert the secret to an npub and nsec if / when needed...
Nostro seems useful as a replacement for some or all of TollGateNostrToolkit. I should take a closer look at this:

It shouldn't be this difficult to get basic features of a nostr client: https://github.com/chGoodchild/GLTollGate/pull/43#issuecomment-2257963973
Perhaps I need to check how others are doing it or just use an existing nostr client written in C(++)
Below are the existing C(++) clients that I found.
TODO, try building and using them. Find out how they generate their respective keys and see if any of their code can be reused.
