I'm reeeeally sorry for giving up my epic quest of searching various keywords on this thread / clicking through the pages...
But if someone could make a new post that actually updates the OP with the latest news (I mean, this thread's OP makes no mention of all the functionality you guys are speaking of) on vanitygen, I'd appreciate it much more...
I am looking for a compiled version for Windows 7 64bit that a trusted member of the community has up on github or something... or a link to a well known repository...
that supports compressed addresses with oclvanitygen.
If there's any wiki-type page with all the necessary info on vanitygen and the latest patches / versions... I'd appreciate it. Thanks, and sorry again for failing at weeding through this thread.
In a nutshell the standard method 1) ECDSA(private) -> ECDSA(public)
2) SHA256(ECSDA(public))
3) RIPEMD(#2)
4) Add network identity to this result, Original 0x00 for bitcoin, but now with >500 crypto-coins, it depends on your target (use the -X key)
5) SHA256(SHA256(#4 + #3)) -- take first four bytes of the result
6) Base58(#4 + #3 + #5) --> Bitcoin address
Step 5 can be omitted when searching for a match at the start of the code. Since these 4 bytes only affect the last portion of the BTC-address. The checksum 4 bytes are padded zero's. That's why a found key and a actual generated key differ at the end. It does save a lot of hashing time :-) In a nutshell the secure generation for third party method 1) ECDSA(private1) -> ECDSA(public1) --> fixed
2) ECDSA(private2) -> ECDSA(public2) --> generated
3) ECDSA ADD(ECDSA(public1) + ECDSA(public2))
4) SHA256(ECSDA(#3))
5) RIPEMD(#4)
6) Add network identity to this result, Original 0x00 for bitcoin, but now with >500 crypto-coins, it depends on your target (use the -X key)
7) SHA256(SHA256(#6 + #5)) -- take first four bytes of the result
8) Base58(#6 + #5 + #7) --> Bitcoin address
9) return the found ECDSA(private2)
10) Use the keyconf to create ECDSA(private final)= ECDSA ADD (ECDSA(private1) + ECDSA(private2))
11) follow the standard method on result (#10)
Step 11) requires the network identity code (for the <xxx>coin address generation), but also a private code(! for the WIF generation) The relation with the older coins is that private code is network code + 128. Since there are more crypto-coins than could fit the equation this (network code +128) is now not always valid, depending on your target coin. In order to make this SW work for most of the crypto-coins a new inline key needs to be added where the private code can be overruled if it not equal to (network code +128) both in the generator and keyconf function. The functionality of the SW has not changed since the OP opened this thread, it's just that a couple of crypto-coins have been added. I'm sorry, but I don't have windows binaries in my repo. |

I tried to search for a specific wallet address just for fun, and it the program crashed. It was not until i removed 6 characters from the end of the public address did it do its thing. I know the chances of finding 1 specific public address is like winning the lottery 500 times in a row but i would like to be able to. Is my hardware the problem or the code?
In order to speed up code execution the final step, adding the checksum to the result is skipped. This checksum is 32 bit, equivalent to 6-7 characters in base58. You may want to run with the regular expression option, in this mode the checksum part is added. Code execution will slow down considerable though. My code actually reports the prefix being to too long when using a complete address in stead of crashing, there are many versions out there :-). |

I saw your screenshot. There is no configure for vanitygen, but you do have to run a command on a *ux system. The assert displayed is related to a missing/not found OpenSSL library. |

The decimal code for an address that starts with 8 is 17, 18 or 19; not 16.
Check these out.
I meant the chococoin's privkey starts with "8" but the Address starts with "7" This an example of what I expect for output from Vanitygen. Address: 77DHHNisauaocU724yoXCKcos5okNBQdhq
Privkey: 8WUfx7PjHZDe4US6tmoUPMnEix3LdM8uuZDHS93746vNh9Bx4Cq I did a check on the source of the generator @ chococoin(.)org and it seems this coin does not follow the vanitygen software. When using the -X prefix the following settings are made active case 'X':
addrtype = atoi(optarg);
privtype = 128 + addrtype;
scriptaddrtype = addrtype;
break;
The address type is set to 15 (0x0F) and the privtype to 143 (0x8F) The source code has these numbers fixed at 15 (0x0F) and 224 (0xE0) I added a test section in my code, change the following: while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv, "CLvqnrik1eE:P:NTX:F:t:h?f:o:s:")) != -1) {
Add a option for C The add add the following case with conditions ----.... snip ....----
case 'C':
addrtype = 15;
privtype = 224;
scriptaddrtype = 224; // I'm not sure what number this must be...
break;
and rebuild the project. this is the result ~/vanitygen$ ./vanitygen -C 7 Difficulty: 1 Pattern: 7 Address: 7A2QfyN7GZWs9ca1BsFP2ahew58T1gWd43 Privkey: 8XUzPjTpDaRbfiNGzMUcF2D3bKxXxULQANqYUCyLyXYZDRkK5Qh Since I don't have a choco-wallet you will need to verify if this private key generates the correct wallet. |

So the fact that I'm a newbie make me unfit to have an opinion that differs from yours...?
I've played the game! Where possible I verified the find of others so to checked their conclusions.
I've backtracked often enough to check the current leads and the trail we were following was logical
with regards to the solved puzzles and hints and the way forward.
The only conclusion I can make (as newbie... so it doesn't count) is that this puzzle was not self sustaining, and needed too many
hint from the OP to keep the momentum going, but the solution as provided by gatekeeper has more merit than
the alternative solution you keep promoting. That one has more holes than Swiss cheese.... and less pony's....

Sorry to say so but you shouldnt be playing this games. Leave it to the pros.....  and btw nobody seems to have answered what the marked area in the wow.jpg was....... notice how there is a line going down on DECLIN.  ?? I guess you are correct, I should not be playing the games. :-( The image with the marked area used in the solution you are promoting has actually being made by me..... and its wrong. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=661781.msg7669775#msg7669775I did mention the line-up is not exact..... There have been updates of this image where this overlay content was scaled correctly, no line is going down the Declination column there..... I have to agree with you that this overlay has not been explained, there as also never been a hint that it was part of the puzzle either... 80% of the Dungeons of Daggorath source code has not been used, you need an explanation for that as well? There has never been a real hint from the OP that the solution had to be a darkwallet. Sure with the picture as starting point it could have been an option. That is what makes it a puzzle; pursue possibilities and eliminate impossibilities. The title of this topic has been changing during the game but it always stated that we were searching for a private key, here it never mentioned a darkwallet seed. |

Also, what does 0=0A=10BABYA=36WOW mean?
0=0A=10BABYA=36WOW describes the alphabet the wow 51 character string was in : 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzYou needed to know this to figure out what the index of each character was in order to make the shifting work. Was there an alternate (more correct) path to the key? Maybe. Someone did notice some files were uploaded after the puzzle started and that was suspicious. So, perhaps you're right. The path we took was layed out for us after a mistake was noticed. Dunno. excuse me? say what? are you on drugs? NO IT DOESNT anything can be in that string simply because it has all the alphabet characters. you didnt answer the question, you just avoided it. Yes there is a REAL version. Once again you can find it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=683366.0PS: also, why is there a GATEway for darkwallet and a GATEkeeper just happens to have won? hint hint, more to come soon.... PPS: i know you are reading this, so get this clear. you started something that you shouldnnt have. you never intented to give the prize to this people. this was just for advertising yourself. and guess what? spain is no longer good enough and you are wanted back home arent you? Hint from OP:
0 = 0A = 10BABYA = 36WOW
This was no hint from OP, it actually is the solution of the crop circle puzzle.
So let’s break that down:
0 is the starting point
0A, which means the starting point, then becomes a capital A, I took the first capital A
10BABYA – Count the next 10 characters and you find a “baby” A or a
36WOW – If you look at the tiles over it there all there: 3, 6, w, o, w
Yeah, this makes much more sense then seeing it as a description of a base 62 alphabet translation. The 'real' solution you keep referring to is just as fragile in it assumptions and leaps. It could have been a valid path, but I have to believe the real path to the correct solution is the one defined by the makers or the puzzle itself. Sure the road was bumpy and bouncy and at times we were led by the hand, but it does not make their defined road wrong, just different that the one you are promoting. Since I mostly enjoyed the puzzle as was laid out by the OP, I welcome a new version, and take any mistakes for granted. |

How can I make many vanity keys at once with the same patter? Like I want 200 addresses start with 1Abc .
Yes ofc u can  . U can make like "infinite" amount of same starting addyes  I mean without need to restart the program. I have to store them in a file or in SQL. Ah that i don't think its possible u will need to hit up arrow to get same settings and start it again . And copy last key u got use the -k for continues and the -o <filename> for storage run vanitygen without any flags and it will display all the options. Options:
-v Verbose output
-q Quiet output
-n Simulate
-r Use regular expression match instead of prefix
(Feasibility of expression is not checked)
-i Case-insensitive prefix search
-k Keep pattern and continue search after finding a match
-1 Stop after first match
-L Generate litecoin address
-N Generate namecoin address
-T Generate bitcoin testnet address
-X <version> Generate address with the given version
-F <format> Generate address with the given format (pubkey, compressed, script)
-P <pubkey> Specify base public key for piecewise key generation
-e Encrypt private keys, prompt for password
-E <password> Encrypt private keys with <password> (UNSAFE)
-t <threads> Set number of worker threads (Default: number of CPUs)
-f <file> File containing list of patterns, one per line
(Use "-" as the file name for stdin)
-o <file> Write pattern matches to <file>
-s <file> Seed random number generator from <file>

I suggest to watch the movie "A beautiful mind"
If you really look for something hidden and believe its there, you will always find something.
Concerning the game, there were some slip-ups making the puzzle not self sustaining.
I know I 'broke' the rule of not looking behind the curtain by (trying to?) expose xavier46930.
The problem being that when the first bit(.)ly/mindthecraft was found, I just used the link with a plus(+) to see the stats of this link.
At the time I did this the name xavier46930 was listed as owner of the link.
A couple of hours later this was set to someone, making it impossible for anyone else to follow the same path.
Hints should be able to be found by anyone, not just by a lucky few at specific times (OP updates..... ?)
The curtain should not be moving constantly if you want participants not to look!
After this I just followed the puzzle instead of participating fully.
An ARG follows the rules as set by the puppetmaster. If you don't like the rules... well I was not forced to play......
And yes, I would have liked the answer to be in the same start image.
If at the end someone with 1500 BTC wins the price... I'm just glad the winner was someone who actually posted a lot on the forum and was a player
from the beginning. He spend just as much time puzzling as anyone else.

HI Guys , there's another puzzle with 20 BTC price at warp wallet challenge . but I think it's specially for programmer  https://keybase.io/warp. It's just brute-forcing 62^8 (218340105584896) combinations.... @ 1MHash/sec about 252 days of work.... |

Congrats to the winner..... I learned a lot and slept little.....  |

Can this be modified to run on SHA256 ASICS? If it's not fully compatible what about splitting the job half ASIC and the rest the video card?
I'd be interested to know this as well. Generating vanity addresses would be a great way to make use of a Block Erupter or any other obsolete SHA-256 miner. I think that could be posible. Unfortunately i dont have any sha256 asic to test it out. I doubt that will work. SHA256 is only one step of generating vanity addresses. I played with the cpu software, porting both the SHA256 and RMD160 (probably not part the asic command set) routines to use the SIDM part of the CPU. In theory I would now hash 4* as fast, but the speed increase was only 30%. Generating a batch of valid ECSDA keys (also not part of the asic command set) requires the most time. So GPU would be the best solution for speed, with the openCL code to do ECSDA generation, sha256 and RMD160 hashing as parallel as possible...... |

What is up with the "Long" "Lat" "Deg" in that picture?
You will need to know astronomy for this. No. Astronomy deals with Right ascension/declination, not with latitude/longitude. Those would be earthly coordinates. It definitely mentioned galactic lat and long. all columns are explained here.... Thou shall check the source on all pages, and the source of clue's as well.... (like I'm still trying to figure out the origins that leads to the ceasar shift of 100......) |

What is up with the "Long" "Lat" "Deg" in that picture? {Gps coordinates possibly?} Have anyone looked into that? {Google earth?}
I will try some combinations, maybe it reveals a location. ?
You will need to know astronomy for this. basically we are looking at 50 antenna's showing a integrated signal strength over 12 seconds. (last column, 12 sec interval) the other columns are needed to know a direction in space you are looking at, etc, etc.. there is nothing random at the right hand side...... |

I md5ed an idea last night so that I could look at it after sleep. I've been pondering it more now but haven't gotten anywhere, and I'm pretty sure it's OBE with the revelation of the XMP data overlay. But I'll share in case anyone can make more headway with this approach.
The idea is this: the 51 characters is a 3733T description of a method to derive a private key from OP's original image.
Consider: z69JZqlJn862D1ndx7oLVEMmVOlP1zewEeUCrsI7Roahzpeny7P
z69JZ: ??
ql: a 'Y' is at 1Q, also an 'F' is at 17A
J: nothing at 1J, but there's a 'n' at its inverse, A10
n: ?
86: slang for 'get rid of'
2D: 2-dimensional? second?
1ndx - index
7oLVE - solve
MmV - move
Ol: ?? (binary 0 and 1?)
P1ze - prize
ewEe - ?? (when?)
U - you
Crs - cross
I7 - 17? I7 has an 'E'
Roahz - rows. rose? [7R and R7 have nothing]
peny - penny?
7P - O or nothing. IP?
OP has already used 3733T in a prior solution, and this approach is more direct than some of the mathematical approaches that we have discussed, which is more in line with prior puzzle solutions.That said, I can't quite make enough sense out of the code (if it is one) to come up with a clear course of action. Note: when I talk about coordinates above, I'm referring to spreadsheet row/column coordinates or their inverse.
maybe incorporate the morse code in your line of thought??? I don't speak 3733T.....  In the beginning I considered this image to be some kind of art, that could be displayed in a gallery. With an UV lamp the enderman stuff could have been displayed. Always give a curator a nice story to tell.... I dropped this line of thought for obvious reasons.... kept the spreadsheet though |

in WOW there is a xmp packet
All that data matches up with what http://regex.info/exif.cgi has labeled the Paint Based Correction. This might just be the OPs edits on top of the original. Looks like that's true. Here's the coordinates plotted out.  On a piece of paper, your Y direction is downwards... you should flip this image, and overlay with the wow.jpg I guess. visually it seems the channel information alteration lines up. if might give the right order of the revised channel numbers.... I just don't have the tools....  see how it roughly seems to line up with the the "2" .... like said, I just don't have the tools for an exact line-up... so it could be nothing...... |
