Let's make a contest-like game. Create a simple code like this and try to beat the high score of currently 4.7 seconds for 1million bech32 addresses without using GPU.

It has to have a purpose otherwise it is a complete waste of time even if someone could optimize the code to generate 1 billion addresses in 5 seconds.

I think I understand what you mean. There is no prize money, so I better rewrite my previous sentence:
Let's make a ~~contest-like~~ game. Create a simple code like this and try to beat the high score of currently 4.7 seconds for 1million bech32 addresses without using GPU.

I don't see it as a waste, if someone makes helpful and further posts in the forum because for this not only the current forum community benefits but also those who will read here in the future. I see it as an enrichment for the forum.

I see that you're using gen_private_key. This generates arbitrary secure random private keys, using urandom. urandom might be slow depending on your system - do you really need it?

Honestly said, I don't care about if urandom is used or random, I just want to quickly generate random numbers for serving as a privkey. Can you suggest a faster approach which can replace this task?

I also see that iceland2k14/secp256k1 does not provide the source for its libraries which is a bit concerning.

what concerns in detail you have, can you explain, please?
