 Is it possible to mine a vanity npub with a GPU? Could I use a tool made for Bitcoin addresses and somehow convert it to an npub? #asknostr

 Rana can mine a vanity npub for you.

The author of Rana is self-admittedly not an expert in cryptography but claims that the GPU is not as efficient in calculating elliptic curve keys.

 Thanks, I'm using Rana right now. Glad to know it's been addressed at least.
