I'm thinking about rotating my keys. I was pretty careless at first and now with a better understanding of using tools like browser extensions and amber, I'm thinking it's time to bite the bullet and start over.

Any ideas or resources on the best strategy to do this?

If you must, take the time to make a vanity key!

this is the fastest vanity miner but you have to build and install the bitcoin secp256k1 library to get that benefit (and go)

it lets you search for prefixes, suffixes and anywhere in the key string

it can mine a 5 character suffix key in about 10 minutes on a 12 core Ryzen 5

i'd build a binary if someone would pay me to *wink*

100 sats from utxo should cover your run of “go build .”

haha... it took me about 1 week in total work to make that thing, putting the secp256k1 library in it was complicated

That would be fun! I don't really have a computer to do it.

It doesn't take a load of processing power. I would run it on my computer overnight and it only took a week or so and mine is 7 characters.

Well I guess it's worth a shot then.
