Title: Vanitygen programm modification Post by: directoryio on May 28, 2018, 11:54:52 AM hello,
I have slightly modified vanitygen to get this: Code: thor@thor-KB045AA-ABF-SG3210FR:~/vanity$ ./vanitygen -v 1234 I'm trying to find out if this was possible to start generation by 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000682141d5917f01f2 Title: Re: Vanitygen programm modification Post by: LoyceV on May 28, 2018, 12:02:55 PM I'm trying to find out if this was possible to start generation by 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000682141d5917f01f2 Why? Starting the search from a certain private key has been suggested before in Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0), but it's insecure to do.Private keys can be reproduced if they aren't generated at random.

I'm pretty sure he's doing this to generate address sequentially from privkey Hex format (64 chars) the same thing what LBC is currently doing to solve the bitcoin puzzle as they say am I right?

Considering there are something like 2^256 bitcoin addresses(1.157920892 +77) sounds like a good investment of time :) |
