Build from source

You need to have Rust toolchain installed in your system, see rustup.rs for the install guide if you don't have it.

# Get the source code and build
$ git clone https://github.com/chawyehsu/nostr-vanity-address-generator
$ cd nostr-vanity-address-generator
$ cargo build --release

# Run the binary
$ ./target/release/nostrgen --help

Knowledge

Speed

Though multithreading has been supported, it depends on your hardware, CPU specifically and the prefix/suffix you are looking for. Longer prefixes/suffixes will take longer to find, the difficulty increases at an exponential rate. There should be room for performance improvements I believe, so PRs are welcome.

Character Set

Nostr public key is encoded in bech32 format, which uses a character set excepting b, i, o and 1, hence you won't be able to get an address with these characters.

For more information about Nostr's address format, you may read about Nostr's NIP-19 document.

Security

Entropy and RNG

Cryptographic programs require very high entropy for RNGs. This program currently adpots thread_rng() RNG to generate random values that used by the elliptic curve. The RNG is from the rand crate and is re-exported from the rust-secp256k1 crate. It's cryptographically secure and widely trusted by the community.

You may read more about RNGs for Rust in the The Rust Rand Book.

Interface

This program will neither store nor will steal your secret key, but please DON'T TRUST, VERIFY. Check out the code and build from source yourself, run it offline if you are concerned.
