Just had a realization that I don't know the best way to write my nostr identity as a contact, on a pdf slide for a presentation I'm giving. I want to just write the npub, that's a possibility, so that at least people who have the pdf file can copy it (if I make it copyable), but that's useless most of the time. Can we make human readable versions of npubs (like maybe 4 or 5 words or something)? A very vague thought. Note that bip39 has 12 words for 128 bit entropy with 2000ish dictionary words. An npub is 256 bits so clearly you can't do that in 5 words, but what if we used a bigger dictionary?
