# IPFS / IPNS peer ID generator

This tool generates IPFS public and private keypair until it finds public key

which contains required substring. Keys are stored in local directory. If you

like one of them, you can move it to ~/.ipfs/keystore/ to use it with IPFS.

## Installation

```

go install github.com/meehow/peer-id-generator@latest

```

## Usage

➜  ~ peer-id-generator **dupa**

12D3KooWLhGVro7Ks**DUPa**4FX3LpWC61xACoj7AEZg5wmz6VqDGJ9

12D3KooWMJm**DUPA**tjcaHo8LARo5VHQ5uSxrt8Mdi5fytiRnnfD2f

^C

➜  ~ cp 12D3KooWMJm**DUPA**tjcaHo8LARo5VHQ5uSxrt8Mdi5fytiRnnfD2f ~/.ipfs/keystore/dupa

➜  ~ ipfs name publish --key=dupa {ipfs-path}

Published to 12D3KooWMJm**DUPA**tjcaHo8LARo5VHQ5uSxrt8Mdi5fytiRnnfD2f: {ipfs-path}

## Examples

In [examples](examples) you can find key pairs which contain word "funny"

at the end of Peer ID. They are just for demonstration purposes.

Please consider these private keys as already leaked.

## Benchmarks

This tool is using [Ed25519](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/ed25519)

algorithm because it is able to generate keys **2500 times faster**

than [RSA](https://godoc.org/crypto/rsa) and both can work with IPFS.
