Is there any way to calculate (estimate) how long it would take to mine a npub prefix of x characters? All the ones I want to search for are too long.
Discussion
I am not sure if there is a way to estimate time. I will keep you posted if I find out.
Does anyone have a link for the characters that can be used in an npub key?
I had seen a list somewhere but can’t find it now.
It'll check when you run and I think it'll display the bech32 charset if there's an invalid char.
Thank you both!
I also just found the bech32 list at your generator’s github page #[3]
Thanks again!
I just found a key with estimated proof of work of 20 in 31 seconds.
Now searching for a key with an estimated pow of 40 and my Mac sounds like an airplane.
🔥🔥🔥 thanks for the info! GL
7-char vanity npub takes a few days on M1 Macbook Pro. #[6] 8-char npub took a few weeks!
I’ve got some simple code here if you can interpret python.

Npub chars are “023456789acdefghjklmnpqrstuvwxyz” and if you use the hashrate estimates provided by rana you can calculate a rough time with a couple simple equations listed in that nb.
