BTW How is vanity search "better" than normal brute force ?  Isn't it like you still just randomly generate private keys and check if they match given address ? 


I have almost the same speed in Rust or using vanity search SECP256K1 in random mode. Even with the fastest random SmallRng, BTC hashing is a bottleneck.
