Length of provided private key should be 64 #80

Hi, I was using https://github.com/KoalaSat/nostros on my android phone. It generates a private key which has length of 63.

But when I use it (try to login) in nostr_console, it will report the error message: Length of provided private key should be 64.

Do I miss anything? I am new to nostr protocol. Thanks a lot.

OK, I figured it out:

Note about key formats: Damus, and astral use npub/nsec key format, while other clients use hex. To convert from npub/nsec to hex format, use this tool. Hex keys will be phased out of all user-facing parts of the clients.
