Title: Vanity Address Bounty 0.1 BTC Post by: gravitate on September 04, 2013, 11:09:43 AM I want to know how to generate vanity addresses on my Macbook pro. I have read the guides and they make no sense. I need someone to tell me theough msn/ skype chat and I will reward with 0.1 BTC. Thank you!

Do you have bootcamp or something that allows you to run windows on your Mac? Title: Re: Vanity Address Bounty 0.1 BTC Post by: gravitate on September 04, 2013, 11:45:01 AM no unfortunately not!
Title: Re: Vanity Address Bounty 0.1 BTC Post by: MRKLYE on September 04, 2013, 11:48:26 AM Unfortunately I don't think a Mac version of vanitygen has been released!
I could get you up and running on windows. Or generate a 4 character vanity key for you free of charge. Title: Re: Vanity Address Bounty 0.1 BTC Post by: jackjack on September 04, 2013, 11:49:57 AM https://bitcoinvanity.appspot.com/
Title: Re: Vanity Address Bounty 0.1 BTC Post by: gravitate on September 04, 2013, 11:54:17 AM I know this address but I do not 100% trust it :( who knows if they log your priv key
Title: Re: Vanity Address Bounty 0.1 BTC Post by: jackjack on September 04, 2013, 12:07:10 PM You can use your own partial private keys
It's 100% secure Create your own private key, calculate the corresponding public key, then put that public key in the "Your-Part-Public-Key:" form You'll see that "Your-Part-Private-Key:" will disappear Title: Re: Vanity Address Bounty 0.1 BTC Post by: escrow.ms on September 04, 2013, 12:19:10 PM Just for info: Stay away from Bitvanity's precompiled binary.
It's backdoored and some people have lost their bitcoins. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=266813.0 Use this one. https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0 Title: Re: Vanity Address Bounty 0.1 BTC Post by: pedrog on September 04, 2013, 12:54:41 PM Install VirtualBox:

It assumed certain libraries were in standard locations, but if you install software with MacPorts you need to tell it where to look for those libraries. If you use homebrew, you'll have to tweak it for that. Never used it so not sure where that installs to.
Code: $ git diff Makefile |
