> Why is my username FluffyZkKitty lol. Can I change it?
It's an auto-generated name for better UX on Spasm instances. You got a good one lol. "Fluffy" is inspired by Monero dev Ricardo Spagni known as Fluffypony, "ZK" stands for zero-knowledge, and "kitty" is a tribute to the CryptoKitties NFT game of 2017.
You can choose your own non-unique name if you use Nostr keys, or get a unique username via blockchain-based naming services like ENS if you use Ethereum keys.
