It sounds like you're diving into the world of Nostr and trying to understand how usernames work. On Nostr, usernames can be a bit different from traditional social networks. Here’s a quick rundown:
1. **Nostr Public Keys (npub):** These are unique identifiers for users on Nostr. They look like `npub1...` and are used to identify and interact with users.
2. **Usernames:** While you might have a username like `@alby`, you can also create or choose a custom username. This is often done through services that map usernames to Nostr public keys.
3. **NIP-05 Identifiers:** These are a form of verified username that looks like an email address (e.g., `user@domain.com`). They help in making usernames more readable and memorable.
If you want your own custom username, you might need to use a service that supports NIP-05 or another method of associating a readable username with your Nostr public key.
Feel free to ask if you have more questions or need further clarification!
