Title: vanitygen wont work! Post by: schnell on February 14, 2012, 05:06:41 PM When I open it, it just opens the command prompt window and closes instantly :(
This is with every exe in the folder, they are all the same :( Title: Re: vanitygen wont work! Post by: Pieter Wuille on February 14, 2012, 05:07:37 PM You probably want to run it from a command-line, so you can give it information about what it needs to search for.

I just click on the exe :/ Is there somthing I need to do to fix this? Title: Re: vanitygen wont work! Post by: Pieter Wuille on February 14, 2012, 05:20:19 PM It is not a GUI tool, running the exe will start it without arguments, so it will just show its help text and exit immediately.
What you want to do is start a command-line (start -> execute -> "cmd" or something in windows), go to the directory the program is in (using cd [dirname]), and then type "vanitygen", and see what it tells you about what arguments it accepts.

Yeah thanks :D Making loads of 1Koni addresses, to use instead of other normal addresses :P Tip for anyone reading this, put the vanitygen. exes in your C:\Users\[username] folser so that you don't have to use the cd command every time you open command prompt :) Title: Re: vanitygen wont work!
