Vanity generator for public key hashes?

[mateon1]

I'm interested whether there exists a vanity hash generator for IPFS public/private keypairs, similar to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
An example: findvanity QmIPFS -> QmIPFSistvz5r37jedMyXsTZ7i8AtrcpZJavoU8Jn7Ysju; keypair: [public key and private key]

It will be currently really slow as we use RSA 2048 right now.

In not a far future we plan moving to ed25519 in which case you can easily reach up to 17 generated keys per second.

Hm, in that case, how were QmSoL nodes created? Are they running a modified version of IPFS where the peer ID doesn't represent the pubkey?

[Kubuxu]

No, it was just slow.

Something like that wouldn't be possible as your node would refuse to connect to them.
