If so, I forked it and made edits that will email you all mined vanities. Could set as a background process and wait lol.

There's a trillion possibilities for 8 characters of bech 32. How many CPU cycles are be needed to check one? I'm assuming there's not a better method than brute force, right?

Depends on the CPU. One of my machines can do a quarter million guesses per second so it could easily take a couple months. Just hoping I get lucky.

250kHz! That is way slower than I was expecting... couple months is right. It'd be $25-50 in electricity too.
