Afaik it would take you several billion years to brute force it, but yes it's possible if the universe lasts that long

True. But its possible to guess it on the first try. But not very probable

Stupid quesrion if i can get a vanity npub in a day or two for example doesnt that mean you coukd search for same vanitty and get thr private key in a similar time?

The vanity is only the first few characters of a long string. Look how hard it is to do 8 characters, 16+ is basically impossible

Yes

Right i follow so wd can find a nice vanity but woukd take very long time for someone to guess priv key of entire npub you got with vaniry.

How about 4
