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

Examples

In 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
algorithm because it is able to generate keys 2500 times faster
than RSA and both can work with IPFS.
