Create your own ETH Vanity Address 📬

Hello there! I wanted to experiment a little bit with both cryptography and Rust programming language, so I built a Rust-based CLI to generate an Ethereum [vanity address](https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/guides/what-is-a-bitcoin-vanity-address-and-how-do-you-get-one)

Unfortunately, unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum final address is expressed as hex code (FYI: that's why it starts with "0x") so you can only pick hex characters (from 1-9 and A-F).

In the other hand, my name is "federico" and my friends call me "fede" or sometimes "fefo" so I could create the addresses "0xfede6ccd07fcb87edc5063ad3848bc289944805c" and "0xfef0d3a4e2e2498819d533e8a1b7ffbe7779ab37" (note that I used "0" as "o", "0xfef0...")

You can build your own by building the OSS project!: [https://github.com/fmiras/vanirust](https://github.com/fmiras/vanirust)
