The vanity key I want takes 283 years to find in my M2 Max. So... I need ideas.

7 characters the one i'm minning right now, been 48 hors... it has reached the point of should i quit? but what if...
Give it a week! I think I start finding 7 char keys after 5 days
I found a vanity npub with an 8-character prefix within 15 hours last night on two Apple silicon laptops. Just throw more machines at the problem and cross your fingers. 😅
Just change your username to whatever your current npub prefix or suffix is and then pretend it was a vanity npub.
That's what I did.
Same.
Damn, how many are you shooting for?
I saw my opportunity and took it
Get a vanity nsec 🧠
Keep very good health
Child labor
I smell a new Nostr web service idea
We didn’t use the secp256k1 curve for nothing. If you want weaker curves, NIST has a couple.
I am not complaining...
Quantum computers!
I think I can help.
I put together something that uses OpenCL on GPU, instead of CPU. I used it to find my npub. Much faster, in my case.
It's rough and probably has a bunch of bugs, but it seems to work. I call it noclvag, Nostr OpenCL Vanity Address Generator. It's based on vanitygen-plusplus.
It's AGPL3+ licensed. I didn't upload it anywhere else. Feel free to upload it somewhere easy to access. The link below should last for 90 days. I would have uploaded it myself, but I'm not aware of git forges that work over Tor and without email, etc.
