Title: Vanitygen: How to easily generate vanity address - Mac OSX? Post by: Nyau on July 05, 2015, 02:59:39 PM TSIA. I found some tutorials, but it's way harder than the Windows method and I want something easy.

Post by: GoingAround on July 05, 2015, 04:02:49 PM If you dont want to use your Mac OS with a tutorial, run a linux OS from USB drive and generate them with vanity gen or just boot up a virtual machine on virtualbox with windows and then generate the addresses there.

By the way, which part is hard for you? Title: Re: Vanitygen: How to easily generate vanity address - Mac OSX? Post by: upsidedown75 on July 05, 2015, 04:43:28 PM i have got the same question. is there a java tool or something around what is platform in independent?

By the way, which part is hard for you? Everything. I'm not coder and I don't understand it, so it's really hard for me even with step-by-step tut. Let's say I'm asking for someones ready to use binary.. If you dont want to use your Mac OS with a tutorial, run a linux OS from USB drive and generate them with vanity gen or just boot up a virtual machine on virtualbox with windows and then generate the addresses there. I'm installing Windows 10 through Paralells Desktop, hope it works on it.. :) Title: Re: Vanitygen: How to easily generate vanity address - Mac OSX? Post by: Rmcdermott927 on July 05, 2015, 06:46:21 PM By the way, there is a vanity address generator website. DO NOT USE THEM. I had over 3 BTC stolen because they apparently log the private keys. It is a scam. Make sure to use the software and generate your own.

Post by: jonnybravo0311 on July 06, 2015, 04:01:06 PM I have compiled and built the vanitygen code on OS X, and I use it (see the vanity BTC address in my profile... that was generated on my MBP using oclvanitygen).
Depending on what hardware you've got, you can either use the CPU version (vanitygen) or the GPU version (oclvanitygen). For example, I've got an nVidia GPU in my MBP, so I use oclvanitygen. Of course, this requires that I've also got the nVidia CUDA toolkit so it can compile the GPU-specific kernel... Title: Re: Vanitygen: How to easily generate vanity address - Mac OSX?

That should be good too, let's start :) Code: xcode-select --install https://i.imgur.com/uxtwAcO.png Now that the command line tools are installed, you'll need some other libraries and packages that are not provided. I happen to like using homebrew for this. I used to use macports, but ran into some issues with their QT5 stuff. So, let's get homebrew. From that same terminal window: Code: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" Now we use brew to install what we need: Code: brew install pcre Once that's done, you'll need to obtain the vanitygen code from git. In the same terminal window: Code: git clone https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen.git Code: cd vanitygen/ Code: make You'll see a ton of warnings, but at the end of it, you'll have your very own vanitygen that you can use...

Post by: jonnybravo0311 on July 06, 2015, 08:57:52 PM I've got no clue what's going on, then. All of the steps I laid out previously, I did on a brand new VM with OS X freshly installed. It was a completely clean install. Running the brew install script asked me for my password to ensure I was OK with what it was trying to do. Now, if I attempt to re-run that install script I get this:

Please don't do this. Forum backups your PMs and sharing private key with others is not at all a good thing. I believe you know this, jonnybravo0311. Please use split-key generation when creating vanity addresses for others. |
