How long did you guys mine that for?

This sparked a question.. Does mining vanity npubs skew the “New npubs created” data that we occasionally see? I still can’t remember where that data is from though…

😂 no. it would slow down your minding by a lot to make and publish an event with the discarded pubkeys

Okay so that data is taking data from keys that are publishing events. That makes sense. If I would have thought about it for like 5 more seconds that would have dawned on me. But alas, I’m an idiot.

Not sure who started this but can ask

All keys already exist, they just have to be discovered. Presumably the “new npubs created” metric is more so a “first time seeing this npub publish an event”

Yeah that makes sense.

We got the npub1current in 2 days on a NUC pc. I have not seen any 8+ vanity keys yet…!

this screenshot was on 2/12 and it was mined on 2/15. that extra character makes it 1 cashapp for every ~32 plasma (the android client we’re about to alpha)

#[4] or #[5] probably have more insight here.
