Using Rana or something else?

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.

how would you migrate nsecs?

There's no easy way to do that, but it's not for my personal use anyway.

What is it?

Your name or something else with bitcoin in it?

Mine is a shorter vanity npub, currently mining a LN pubkey

happy with 5

Good luck!

I did a 7-character one in about 24 hours, so maybe it won't be that bad.

Any guide about vanity Bitcoin addresses?

Don't do it. Bitcoin addresses are disposable for a reason.
