no easy way to do this rn

Currently there isn't a migration tool or simple way. I think you will need to generate a key offline https://orangepill.dev/nostr-guides/guide-nostr-key-generation-and-management/

After that reach out to your followers informing them in a post/note about your new pubkey, re-follow people and hopefully they follow you all back.

Sadly, no solution exists. It's my hope that in the future a tool and path forward would exist.

I read the amazing tutorial made by #[7] and right now I installed rana to discover how to mine a key. Any ideas how much it takes to mine a key ?

Rana currently only does CPU vanity and PoW generation of keys. The time depends on your CPU. The type of CPU, clock speed, number of workers/threads/core count etc. The number of hashes it churns depends varies from CPU to CPU.

For me on an Intel 10th gen intel i7 10875h with 16 threads clocked at 4.9 Ghz it took about 3 hours to mine a PoW 34 bit key with leading zeros.

Thanks for the update, I currently started to do this on the home server, an intel NUC.

You're welcome! Good luck finding your vanity pubkey!

I see bad things happening with that tool. Copying peoples profiles once compromised to store for later use on building a fake follower. Tell me if that is not possible. Or make it not possible. :-)
