A simple tool to mine nostr vanity pubkeys. Currently supports hexadecimal and bech32 vanity keys. Tested on Windows but should run on other platforms supported by the rust compiler without any problems. This is quick and dirty code, but works well enough.
After installing rust, clone the repo and compile the tool :
git clone https://github.com/lacaulac/nostr-pubminer.git
cd nostr-pubminer
cargo build --release
The executable will be in the newly created target/release directory.
Every generated keypair will be stored in a output.csv file in the directory the tool is launched from.
Generating vanity keypairs with the hex pubkey beginning with deadbeef using 11 threads :
./vanitypubkey deadbeef 11
Generating vanity keypairs with the bech32 pubkey beginning with npub1dead8eef using 11 threads :
./vanitypubkey dead8eef 11 yes
Running a one-core benchmark with 10000 iterations, testing generation and hex key filtering:
./vanitypubkey benchmark 10000
Running a one-core benchmark with 10000 iterations, testing generation and bech32 key filtering:
./vanitypubkey benchmark 10000 yes
A user-defined amount of threads continuously generate random keypairs and send them to the main thread. The main thread checks every pubkey and logs the ones that match the tool's arguments into the output.csv file.
