[justincappos: so here is the set of occurrences as I understand it:
6:02pm justincappos: Zachary (a new undergrad) generates a public key using seash or similar
[justincappos: Zachary registers an account on seattlegeni and uploads his public key
6:03pm justincappos: Zachary can't browse and find vessels on seash because he isn't using the right public key
[justincappos: Can you help us figure out where the root problem is?
6:04pm alpers: what do you mean by right public key?
[alpers: does he have multiple public keys?
6:04pm justincappos: He told me what his key is and it's not the one stored in the db on seattlegeni
[6:04pm] justincappos: when I used that key I could browse
I used seash to generate the keys, but didn't realize they were saved as files in the directory (I thought it would print the keys on the terminal). So I went to seattlegeni, created my account, and told it to generate keys for me. This may be why I have different keys appearing in the db? This could also mean my private key is also incorrect?

I worked through the problem with Zachary. He generated multiple keys and was using the wrong one. He's editing the wiki to clarify where he went wrong.
