I’ve been playing around with js-ipfs, and noticed my public key and PeerID do not match.
Is there a reason for this?
Can I change it?
How do I get the PeerID from the ed25519 key?

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a post on this. I’ll see if I can find it rather than repeating it but the PeerID is a protobuf containing the public key which is why they don’t match.
It looks like createFromPrivKey(privKey) might be what you’re looking for and this documentation should tell you all you want to know about PeerIDs.
