How long will rana take for a 7-character npub prefix? It says "estimated pow: 28", but bech32 stores 5 bits per character, not 4, so I think it is pow 35. But how long is that? Sn0wden took 3 days, right? Of course it's totally random, could take much less or more. Breaking and starting again doesn't change anything (even if it feels like it does).

On my single socket Xeon e5 2630v3 system I get 2-5 six character long matches a day. I tried mining a 7 character long prefix and it got nothing after a week. I gave up. Btw, my Mac mini M1 does more hash/sec then my Xeon.
