Title: Coding project will pay in BTC
Post by: BurtW on January 07, 2012, 04:12:24 PM
I am looking for someone to create a program or script that would do the following.

Given an arbitrary paragraph like:

Code:
But I don't want to go among mad people Alice remarked.  
Oh, you can't help that said the cat. 
We're all mad here.
I'm mad. You're mad.
How do you know I'm mad said Alice?
You must be said the cat.
Or you wouldn't have come here.

automatically convert it so a series of valid public key addresses like this:

Code:
1But1DontWantToGoAmongMadxxxzDmyW6
1Peop1eA1iceRemarkedxxxxxxxxxuLyKu
12ohYouCantHe1pThatxxxxxxxxxzCjyMs
19SaidTheCatWereA11MadHerexxyTvEir
191mMadYoureMadxxxxxxxxxxxxxvwA4Up
1HowDoYouKnow1mMadSaidA1icexxZA4Nr
12YouMustBeSaidTheCatxxxxxxxz2tFa2
12orYouWou1dntHaveComeHerexxvtHbqq

You need to:

Convert everything to CamelCase and remove all spaces and punctuation marks
Convert all illegal characters to the nearest equivalent
Break up the phrase into correctly sized chunks
Calculate the valid public addresses

I am pretty sure I could do this but I am lazy and thought someone might like to earn some BTC.

Anyone interested?

Bruno and I need this for a project we are working on.

I could write up an interface to the vanity gen program.  What's the maximum number of characters you want to specify in the custom address?

You realize that addresses like that would take aeons to generate, right?

I am not asking for the key pair.  I just want valid public key addresses that will be accepted into the block chain. 

All of these addresses will be BTC "black holes" from where no BTC will ever return.

You would not be using vanitygen.  Just doing the necessary calculations to get a valid "checksum" after doing all the pre-processing.

how much are you looking forward to pay?

I might do this tomorrow if I get a couple hours of quiet time.

Any prefs on the language to implement this in?
Can do php, html+js, plain C, C++, C#, Java and probably a few other languages.

I have it coded up for you already

How much are you willing to pay?

Who do you think did this?

I've got a complete API for generating these types of transactions from text...if the price is right, you can have it.

Heh. When I saw the Alice in Wonderland text, I knew something looked familiar.. XD

[edit] I told you it was a good idea lol.. We'll sell you a groovy domain associated with the project as well.

nice thingie in the BE - would have been nice to have this:
a) in a sendmany tx
b) with prefixes so it shows up in order in BE

it's already done that way, sir...

The transaction inputs are in order and they are generated for you...and I even have an API that
can broadcast the transaction.

For 10 btc, I'll give you a php script that can generate the addresses immediately. If you also want the component
that can generate and broadcast the transaction, we can negotiate that separately. Or make an offer.

hehe, dont you think 10 coins is a bit expensive these days?

I mean, the task is not quite hard to accomplish.... (and no, I'm not planning on buying it, but I'd have done that piece of code for less)

That is, of course, where I got my example!

My partner and I are interested so I will PM you to start talking about it.  My purpose was to find who did it already - mission accomplished!

Cool beans.  Just created this in the block chain as a test:

Code:
