 where the key value needs to be replaced by the generated private key and the address value needs
 to be replaced by the actual address that will be used to sign the updates.

+In case you forgot your public key, but saved the private one, you can run the following for outputting the key:
+```bash
+go run keygen/keygen.go --key 0x1512de600a10a0aac01580dbfc080965b89ed2329a7b2bf538f4c7e09e34aa1

 Alternatively, one can save and read the (encrypted) key from a file and save the signature with:
 
 ```bash
