Title: Re: Vanity addresses: how to get them? Post by: Amarite1 on February 28, 2013, 09:08:27 PM How does one generate vanity addresses on bitcoin and alts? You can use vanitygen (link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0)). If you don't want to do it yourself, you can get others to generate the keys for you (just be aware that some people are scammers). I would be happy to make you one, PM me if you are interested.Title: Re: Vanity addresses: how to get them?

But yeah, vanity gen is the shit. https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen If you have a good graphics card you can generate them even faster on that. Title: Re: Vanity addresses: how to get them? Post by: Veritas on February 28, 2013, 09:51:25 PM Does generating an address reserve that address on the network then? Or are you just mathematically validating said address?
Once you have a validated unused address, How does one then get it into your wallet ? Title: Re: Vanity addresses: how to get them? Post by: KrLos on February 28, 2013, 10:03:51 PM thanks, look at mine! xD
Title: Re: Vanity addresses: how to get them? Post by: Amarite1 on February 28, 2013, 10:08:23 PM Does generating an address reserve that address on the network then? Or are you just mathematically validating said address? It doesn't reserve it in the networks (at least I'm NEARLY sure it doesn't) until you add it to your wallet. What wallet are you using to store your addresses? If you are using a web-based wallet, it varies, but for Bitcoin-QT (the desktop client), go here for instructions: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_import_private_keys (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_import_private_keys)Once you have a validated unused address, How does one then get it into your wallet ?

Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about writing a program to generate valid addresses. Just for educational purposes, I dont think i would get into the keys part of it.

You can't use it until you import it into your wallet. However, you don't "reserve it" until you have made a transaction to it in the block chain, then the potential firstbits would be reserved. Firstbits are not an official Bitcoin "thing" but places like blockchain.info and firstbits you can look up an address with the first part of the vanity if your address is the first one used in the blockchain.
