Title: FTCVanity v1.09
Post by: UKMark on May 21, 2013, 12:27:14 PM
Just released v1.07 that now offers support for Litecoin & Bitcoin, so thought I would post over here:

Changelog v1.07:
Added settings menu.
Can now be configured to generate vanity addresses for Feathercoin, Litecoin & Bitcoin.
Added run once self configuration on first run, this is basically a short test to measure system performance of the PC that FTCVanity is installed on. this is to enable trouble free operation even on the slowest of PC's. < That's the plan anyway  ;D
Edit: Also vanitygen, vanitygen64 & oclvanitygen now start minimised, so if you wish to see progress output on longer patterns, etc, simply double click the black CMD window in the systray.

Description:
FTCVanity is a GUI front-end for vanitygen.exe, vanitygen64.exe and oclvanitygen.exe for the creation of a Feathercoin, Litecoin & Bitcoin vanity wallet address.

It offers a complete user friendly interface for creating vanity Feathercoin Addresses & Private Keys:

Windows Installer.exe Complete package for generating Vanity Feathercoin addresses & Private Keys (includes vanitygen.exe & vanitygen64.exe source vanitygen source code here (https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen)):

Guide To Importing generated private keys:

To import a valid private key, simply start the QT client as usual and then navigate to:

Quote
Help >> Debug Window >> Console

And enter the following command:

Code:
importprivkey "your private key here" [Your Label Here] 

Press enter and once it has been verified with the blockchain you will then have your own personal Vanity address!  8)

Like so:

NOTE:The wallet must be unencrypted to import the new address, once imported the wallet can then be encrypted!

Feel free to test the validity of my vanity address below  ;D

Since this is in Visual Basic, It's probably really slow. Nevertheless, congratulations on the effort.

Cheers.
I am running an i5 2500k and there is no noticeable slow down for me :), but I have tried on an older AMD laptop and it is rather slow like you say.  :-\
The benchmark type configuration test, hopes to solve any timeout errors in the script on lesser PC's etc.
One day I'll teach myself a decent language to program with.  ;D

VB is still faster than javascript. Can this thing do compressed bitcoin keys?

Errr I don't know tbh :D
Is it a command line option to do compressed keys? If so you could maybe try entering in the input field before your pattern...Although I can't guarantee it will work
Let me know anyway.
