Use `publicKeyMultibase` instead of `publicKeyBase58` field in all examples
Hi, I believe that some examples were by mistake using publicKeyBase58 rather than publicKeyMultibase - I've updated the examples. Let me know if I am missing something.
Cheers
The examples use Ed25519VerificationKey2018, which only supported publicKeyBase58. We do plan to update the examples to use more modern key formats such as Multikey, which does use publicKeyMultibase.
@Patrik-Stas could you please update the PR to use Multikey, you can find the format description here:

Related to the context discussion on today's call. Suggestion is to pull in the new multikey context.
This was discussed during the WG meeting on 2024-08-22: https://www.w3.org/2024/08/22-did-minutes.html#t06
Since we haven't heard back from the original author yet, I'll effect these changes on the core specification.
This was discussed during the #did meeting on 19 September 2024.

manu: This one is waiting on merge conflict resolution
… We might have to do a more complete fix with this one. Or pull the PR in and make the fix later
decentralgabe: I noticed you tagged the author. If manu you can take it over that would be great
manu: Sure, I can take it over.
ivan: Why do you think it is aclass 2 change? I think it is a class 3
… using public key multibase effects implementations
manu: It effects the examples, this is non-normative
ivan: Okay, yep its a class 2
manu: There is a separate issue that discusses upgrading to publicKeyMultibase
