The peer id generated by the terminal is different from the peer id generated by the subkey

when I run dev mode , get node identity 12D3KooWKEpHANYwey4BdaPRRtSRJseGNxZUo3mgKZr689MJdGv4 :

2020-09-07 18:30:29.138 main INFO sub-libp2p  🏷  Local node identity is: 12D3KooWKEpHANYwey4BdaPRRtSRJseGNxZUo3mgKZr689MJdGv4 (legacy representation: QmeXLzSXyyd8iXBSKdmtxCbCtnJQXoxALquWZzevXm2CNA)

but when I run generate-node-key --file secret_ed25519 get 12D3KooWH4DBA8CtwgFWMLcksDxD6Ybq474bUVLjytHZ34oEH3Fc

➜  network subkey generate-node-key --file secret_ed25519
12D3KooWH4DBA8CtwgFWMLcksDxD6Ybq474bUVLjytHZ34oEH3Fc
➜  network pwd
/home/rust/.local/share/node-template/chains/dev/network

Why are the two different

[bingryan]

use node-key-file

[tomaka]

Now that #7052 is merged, do we also fix the change accidentally introduced by #4954 and change back the key generation to be binary, or do we keep the new behaviour?

I would keep the hex format, this is better human readable.
