$ docker run -it purestake/moonbeam:latest key generate --scheme ecdsa
Secret phrase `usual enter midnight depend food rack angry curtain laugh brother word pact` is account:
  Secret seed:       0x8cdb2bcf7951bc673d791061e809c1739ab0c21871207e3f68361bb43f7405cc
  Public key (hex):  0x0382e1266710c52f2aa994e3ed4ac70b509dccf2ca33e8a864327ec1f4bf0cb359
  Public key (SS58): KWBfv7GEgJak3zxB3cA8jQXtsR6b2LK3EaZC7QFwfYvSBu8gz
  Account ID:        0x7ffaa2132f39cdaa2fb11fa42d65fe0df82e2d3751ea6a60cd7fc9185ff2313e

Look at that AccountId. 0x7ffaa2132f39cdaa2fb11fa42d65fe0df82e2d3751ea6a60cd7fc9185ff2313e It is 32 bytes long. I would expect this command to give me information that I could import into eg metamask. Or at minimum give me a 20 byte account id.
