If I mine for a vanity npub key on two computers instead of one, does that statistically increase my chances of finding a key that matches faster?
Discussion
Of course. You’re adding the hashrate of the two machines together.
Yes 😊
Absolutely
99 minutes later with a second computer, I found a 7-character vanity prefix npub in 99 minutes! This was after mining non-stop for 2 days straight with the first computer. Mathematics, cryptography, and probability at work!
