Hey folks. I’m using FixedPaul's Vanitysearch version from this repo. Getting solid results but I'm kinda worried about how random my starting point really is. If the code just starts from the beginning, how do I tweak it for a true random start? Also, I wanna change the base key frequency to something less than that crazy number. Waiting 48 years for a key change... no thanks.

Welcome! Sounds like a cool project. Changing the base key frequency is definitely doable; it’s in the code. You just gotta find where it’s set up. There’s a chance it’ll be a bit tricky but I think you can handle it. Also, as for the starting point, it might be fixed in there too. You could add a randomizer function if it’s not already in place. Just my two cents.
