Nostr

Thx for the tip but i'm not looking for profit, just want so play lottery with an very old notebook by solo mining. Also for ethical reasons I wouldn't mine shitcoins.

CPU mining was removed from core a couple of years back. I'm sure I could track down a version that would compile in 2023, but man, there's better lotteries for a general purpose CPU even just in the bitcoin space.

(a) Grind for a mad bitcoin vanity address of your choosing. I have one with a chosen five-character prefix, you could do way better. FelixIsBoss.* ? FelixThaStud.* ? BitcoinOrBust.* ?

(b) Liberate a seized bitcoin wallet for yourself! Find the address of a seized Dark Market, check which address the coin is sitting in now, and set that as your vanitygen target! There's literal billions if you hit the jackpot.

Thanks for the ideas, I already run a ln node on good hardware but vanity key generation is a cool idea, maybe also for a Nostr key.
