Title: Any bech32 vanity address generators out there for windows?
Post by: jackg on November 19, 2018, 01:16:05 AM
I've been looking and there dojn't seem to be any available.
I know nullius created one but it is now obselete as there's apparently a faster one (although I don't think either of which run on windows), anyone got any suggestions?

This is a thread back from 2011, I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. I doubt it but have a look just in case.

No, sadly it isn't.

I'm after a segwit vanity address generator, that's legacy.

Nullius made one few time ago. It is worth giving a shot. It works only in Linux. Maybe you can run it in a virtual machine or something like that.

The code for this is reasonably solid, notwithstanding some inelegance in main() which will be refactored.  On FreeBSD, it’s been my dogfood for over six weeks; I have also built it and tried basic functionality on Linux.  But it needs error, warning, and usage messages—plus the manpage!
.....


Roadmap/TODO, in no particular order:

  • Microsoft Windows version, likely via mingw.  This is in popular demand.  I can’t promise a binary on a platform I myself don’t even have in my house; but I will try to get a Windows binary made for folks who need it.

I found this one too but they're both for linux so not particularly helpful with what I want.

Which version of Windows do you use? Windows 10 allows their users to enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) (WSL). Both of these projects should work without any problems on it.
