Correct me if I’m wrong, vanity npubs are riskier than random ones, correct?
In my head, if I were to mine a key pair to find npub1tatumnxymfyez0nlmmxf287nh9cujfuetxhk9vptwcdqg0pn8pxqxasw3d for example, someone could in theory target that easier than
TatumTurnUp (npub1hte…sw3d).
Or am I far off base because of the remaining characters? Or hell, could the same argument be made for mining npubs that ARE random?
I think I may be answering my own question here with such a small portion of your vanity npub not being enough to guarantee finding that key pair.
Help? I’m fucking stupid?
