Quote: An Ed25519 private key consists of a 32 byte seed (from which you can cheaply derive the 32 byte private scalar and the 32 byte hash prefix) and the 32 byte public key. This is actually what I tried, but I think I need to look at the implementations to make it work. I can likely figure the golang out if I need to, or probably there's a more direct approach to the whole shebang.
