When you sign up with snort.social they show you the mnemonic seed, and the corresponding public keys as well as one private key that starts with nsec. But what about the hexadecimal private key? Why are they hiding it from their user? How might I generate it given my mnemonic phrase? Where is the software that snort.social uses to generate a private key? I mean where is it published, I don't mean the location of their servers. I would like to generate the keys myself with such software just to make sure that the keys are correct.

A tool you might be looking for?
Thanks. I think I might decide to go for this one https://github.com/jaonoctus/nip06-cli as it may have a lighter interface (written by the same author). Or as I tend to avoid installing too much JavaScript software I may try https://github.com/darosior/python-bip32 as I already use Python's mnemonic module for generating the mnemonic phrase needed for my lightning wallet. Is binary seed described in NIP-06 the same as what is called entropy here?
