README

        

A commnand-line vanity address generator for Grin. I made this mostly for fun and to familiarize myself with the various Grin libraries written in Rust. The code is currently a lot slower than expected since deriving a slatepack address from a seed seems to be ~1000x slower that deriving it from a raw public key.

# Installation

```bash
cargo install grin-vanity
```

# Example usage
The output below depicts an adrress found with the pattern `grin1test` and its corresponding seed.

```bash
$ grin-vanity --threads 30 --pattern grin1test --interval 180

# Estimated Time
Guessing a private key with the chosen prefix has an element of luck to it. The following table depicts a rough estimate on what should be expected on a Ryzen 5950x using 30 threads. Your results may vary.

| Prefix | Eta |
| ------------- | ---------- |
|grin1 | < 1s |
|grin10 | < 1s |
|grin100 | < 1s |
|grin1000 | 30 s |
|grin10000 | 16 min |
|grin100000 | 9 h |
|grin1000000 | 12 d |
|grin10000000 | 17 y |
|grin100000000 | 560 y |
