noscl public fails with "Error decoding key from hex"

[WesleyBatista]

steps to reproduce:

$ noscl key-gen

$ noscl setprivate 2338b5466b6aefb19f64a6d907e771da7894df1a07a39207aa1353754df8244f
$ noscl public                                                                     
<> 2023/08/26 17:32:09 Error decoding key from hex: encoding/hex: invalid byte: U+0023 '#'

config.json:

{
  "relays": {},
  "following": {},
  "privatekey": "#8\ufffdFkjﱟd\ufffd\ufffd\u0007\ufffdq\ufffdx\ufffd\ufffd\u001a\u0007\ufffd\ufffd\u0007\ufffd\u0013SuM\ufffd$O"
}

environment:

• go version go1.21.0 darwin/arm64 (MacOS M1)
• intallation method: git clone + go install

If I manually set the privatekey in the config.json then I get this:

$ noscl public

I have the same problem. But where is your config.json?
