I want to shout out nostr:npub1qqqqqqqx2tj99mng5qgc07cgezv5jm95dj636x4qsq7svwkwmwnse3rfkq and everyone who contributed to Rana.
Rana is a vanity nostr key miner written in rust that's the fastest code in its class. I'm currently farming a 10 character vanity npub (POW 40) at 230k-450k iterations per second and have a chance to mine my handle in 30-50 days.
You can learn more at:

cmd:
./rana --vanity-n-prefix= your npub here
I think I can help speed that up significantly.
I put together something that uses OpenCL on GPU, instead of CPU. I call it noclvag. I used it to find my npub, which took a few days. My npub's prefix is alex0jsan, which is 45 bits. It was searching at a few hundred million iterations per second.
Please upload source code onto github to audit. I love what you're saying but anyone who's smart enough to use this software wouldn't use compiled code without viewing the source.
Totally. Would love some feedback on this. Not my area of expertise.
The file mentioned in the announcement note is actually the source code. No binaries there.
I couldn't find a way to upload the source code to a git forge over Tor without KYC, email, etc. If you know a way, let me know.
When I test-net dev stuff, I love this. You might be able to pass all the auth stuff with a service like this.
Thanks! I'll take a look.
I managed to upload noclvag to a git forge. You can find it at https://codeberg.org/alex0jsan/noclvag
Please take a look and let me know what you think.
