As far as I know, you can derive only up to 231-1 public addresses (non-hardened) from an xPub, so this might be the only limitation.
You will have to generate a new xPub and use it to derive a new set of addresses, so you have to keep track of that alongside the child index. You will need them to get the private key corresponding to the address (supposing you have the xPrv in first place).
You will probably get more help if you move this topic to Development & Technical Discussion
Topic: [Beginner question] Vanity from Xpub - page 2. (Read 292 times)
I don't think it's been done yet but I think it might be quite slow to function and that's why it hasn't been done and published at least.
I have got a question: Is it possible to get a vanity address from xpub?
I was planning to code a little program on python to do so (I am an also a beginner at it), but I would like to know whether it is possible or not first.
