> Keep your `nsec` secret in a secure, offline location. Anyone with that string can sign Nostr events or spend Nostr‑based funds.
## 🔧 How the code works (quick dive)
```python
# main.py
import argparse, hashlib
from ecdsa import SigningKey, SECP256k1
from bech32 import bech32_encode, convertbits
NSEC_PREFIX, NPUB_PREFIX = "nsec", "npub"
def _to_bech32(data: bytes, hrp: str) -> str:
five_bits = convertbits(list(data), 8, 5, True)
return bech32_encode(hrp, five_bits)
# … (rest unchanged) …
```
### Why the key‑gen algorithm matters
1. **Read file in binary** – We need raw entropy; reading as text would truncate or encode the file in an unexpected way. Binary mode is the most faithful representation of the file’s content.
