Grind output not as expected.

[Andrew-In-Code]

I ran a grind for a 7-character target, and it delivered quickly. Under 10 mins. However, the address was truncated to 11 characters, and the keyphrase was too short and contained invalid characters. Then, when I tried to use the Solana CLI keygen with the raw seed, it generated a completely different address that didn't even include the target. Finally, I ran a troubleshooting script that ChatGPT gave me, and it gave me the untruncated address with the target, but I can't generate a private key to use it in a hot wallet.

I'm new to this. What am I doing wrong?

this is only useful for vanity program addresses created via create_with_seed. this cannot be used to generate a keypair (private key)
