 PEEP THE NPUB 🐂🥜👀 https://image.nostr.build/596876bf1727eb3f5424684752d764c9d841a946c313e53d760081e64c22c524.jpg  nostr:note1cajvp6unpk3wvdrz0mnuwpr0nm8ryh67umhxkun3xkdu3lapqh6s29vv9a 
 psh, only 5 char 😉
peep mine 
 Ayyy very nice. I would wait longer for “bullishnuts” but “b” isn’t a valid letter so I just went with that. Got some longer ones that are still mining rn. 😄 
 can try an 8 for b

bullishnuts is an actual long one though.

mine took me about 2 days with 12 cores.

any idea if there is way to mine npubs with gpu instead of cpu? 

i used rana
 
 Yeah I thought about the 8 but wasn’t feeling the look haha. Good thing I didn’t try tho because I only have 4 cores on the machine I’m running rana on. 😄

The only other app I know of is nostr_vanity_npub but I couldn’t get it to work: https://github.com/kdmukai/nostr_vanity_npub 
 maybe someone will come up with a way to securely rent out cores to mine noubs with the gaurantee that the miner doesn’t know the private key. 

i would love to mine npubs for sats.

not sure if thats even possible though 
 Yeah would be a good use of existing hardware. Not sure either tho. 😆 
 You can just change your name to the npub, that way all npubs are vanity npubs.

(Also some clients display prefix whisky others display suffix🤔) 
 did somebody say whiskey? 🥃
