I saw that @odell, @k1tan and some samourai devs have vanity paynyms, i.e. it's +odell and -k1tan.

I know a paynym is derived from your master private key.

I was wondering if there was any publicly available tool that would allow me to brute force private keys until I get a target paynym.

This is a manual change that the dev team kindly offer to make on the PayNym.is servers so you'll have to request it from Samourai themselves.

Due to the manual nature of this change, the team does not make a habit of offering this as a request service and it has nothing to do with the underlying payment code.

What is manual about it?

Is it a permissioned system?

I thought this was part of a BIP... Is there a centralized component?

For those wondering:

Basically:

How do I get a custom PayNym?

You may have seen some PayNym’s with names or bot images that do not follow the standard format that Samourai Wallet typically generates. This is simply a manual change that the dev team kindly offer to make on the PayNym.is servers. Due to the manual nature of this change, the team does not make a habit of offering this as a request service and it has absolutlely zero to do with the underlying payment code.

Basically paynym != bip47. Paynym is just. Samourai developed off-spec extension to their bip47 implementation and the paynym directory is centralized in nature.

Hope this helps!
