NaCl sign secret keys are 64 bytes, while NaCl box secret keys are 32 bytes.
Since you are a Programmer, maybe this helps:

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. Maybe I'll come up with a high latency message to send to your offline system =) -sent from my closed source toosmartphone, which is dangerously rotting the flesh of my hands
