Thanks xhomerx10, i don't like posting thread within the politcal section of this forum. ☞ Ongoing discussion(s) on that section are so concentrated. i wonder why people invest their time discussing about vanityThanks Bitcseo You don't like spelling either. You didn't spell Trump's name properly and I'm not sure if you're discussing ethnics or ethics as you wrote " ethnical". Either way, you're opening up a politically charged discussion regardless of where you like to post. It would have taken you less time to move this post than to have delved into my posting history. If you have a vanity related question, feel free to post in the vanity thread. We will enlighten you. You will be amazed.

LOL you know its funny, I've looked at so many BTC addresses before, and I don't think I ever realized they all started with "1"!
Not all of them start with 1. For example, CoinsBank Bitcoin addresses start with 3. As I got it, only addies generated with vanitygen start with 1 Not only vanity addresses. The most common Bitcoin address is the P2PKH (Pay-to-Pub-Key-Hash) begins with 1. The addresses beginning with 3 are a special multi-signature format created from 3 or more private keys called P2SH (Pay-to-Script-Hash) Conceivably, one could create multi-sig vanity addresses but I don't know of any available software.

I am a newbie member from bangladesh.as a newbie member,how to earn btc from this forum ? Thanks in advanced
Welcome, you have come in a right path, now you should join the signature campaign and follow the rules, than start your work. Firstly you will feel nervousness but later on you could do your work, so don't worry passing the time you can handle it. and after 4 to 6 months you can earn good earning. After 5 to 6 months! its very long time yaaar Not nearly as long as 12 years in prison though. You should stop before you get into trouble.

My friend, why do you want to risk 12 years in prison? For your own safety, do not seek to use Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.

I'm trying to create a link for the wabpage in my website. This is so that someone could just click the btc address and will open thier hard drive wallet and that they can donate easily. how do i do it that all they need to do is click the btc address link?
You should move this to beginners and help. See the move topic link in the lower left of your screen. This is a simple link: <a href="bitcoin:1RoMaNiAjSGeGsYJzPjsLUGogbDEsK4TZ">Send Bitcoin</a>

If Bitcoin sparks your road to success, what will you do for people who shunned you when you were down and out? (Years ago) I had one chance to buy Bitcoin at ~$0.05 (about 5 USD pennies each!) and I had never heard of BTC, or anticipated the future value so, why bother? This year, I am full of big ideas and exciting ideas, but some members of my extended family tend to completely ignore my efforts to simply say "Hi" (even without sharing my "exciting ideas") a couple of times a year. If you were in a similar situation, and eventually made big money from BTCitcoin related businesses, would you forget the previous cold-shoulder, or ignore them when you are "insanely wealthy" from honest efforts related to Bitcoin? The big and exciting ideas you are full of and your failure to purchase Bitcoin at 5 cents are irrelevant to the question you posit. The crux of the matter is your extended families indifference towards you. In order to properly answer the question, we would need a lot more information without having to wade through the extraneous material. Usually when people don't want to hear your exciting ideas anymore, it's because you've relied on them too much for support without showing results. As I said though, we need more information and please try to be concise.

Hi,
new to the space. need to buy bitcoin to transact with a vendor who only accepts btc. Not looking to buy from a private party, rather from some org/entity who has a trackrecord for conversions. I'm US resident that will wire transfer. Who would you use and why?
thanks,
BG
Well you have posted in the altcoin board. Perhaps you should move this to the beginners and help section. See the move topic link on the bottom left of the screen.

Excusez-moi parce que je ne l'utilise très souvent le français. J'espère que vous pouvez me comprendre. Si chaque personne sur Terre ont gaspillée 1 heure de leur vie sur une trivialité juste une fois, cela équivaudrait à 7,125 milliards d'heures gaspillées. Cela équivaut à 813 356 années gaspillées ou environ 4 fois la quantité de temps l'homme a habité la Terre. Je ne peux pas sonder la quantité d'énergie utilisée, mais je parie qu'il rivalise avec la consommation de calories du réseau bitcoin! Que diable, je vais perdre les heures: Le corps humain moyen au repos nécessite 5 440 kilojoules par jour. Donc, pour cette heure perdue, 226,67 kilojoules sont dépensés par chaque humain sur la Terre. Maintenant 7,125 milliards humains fois 226,67 kilojoules = 1 615 000 000 000 kilojoules Pardonnez-moi de ne pas montrer les maths (peut-être vous pouvez perdre une partie de votre heure ce soir), mais le résultat est: 448 611 111 kWh ... pour rien! Mon Dieu.

There are no big, hot, sexy products right now. Maybe hot though - the Antminer S9 is sold out which is really the only option. You can look it up on bitmain.com; you might get 2 S9s shipped with power supplies for $5k. It is not worth doing. Stay away. Mining is no place for amateurs anymore.
I've been familiar with bitcoin mining since around 2011 so I don't quite consider myself an amateur. I'll look at that product, but hopefully something else that is suitable pops up soon. :/ Ha ha! Unless you have your own mining farm and have created your own mining equipment or at least designed one and used another companies ASIC chips, you are considered an amateur for the purposes of this discussion. I've done the math in other threads, I can't do it again as it takes too long and I'm not really interested in taking the time to convince people anymore. Here's one of my latest rants if you're interested.

I'm running at 3.1Kkey/s, like I said, I'm using a very old PC, I will probably run it on a different machine and see how that goes.
Thats really low speed, you should consider outsource'ing this job. Generating keys on CPU is really bad idea tho, other way to do it is to invest in some good graphic card and use it for generation. You cant use the graphics card while using regex so CPU is your only option.

Shorena Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try ^^ now SAMKUSH [596.32 Kkey/s][total 39999267][Found 35] <---9 numbers about a million keys per address [632.33 Kkey/s][total 94099468][Found 12] <---10 numbers about 8 million per address [622.72 Kkey/s][total 400913991][Found 7] <---11 numbers about 57 million per address I guess probabilities were too complicated to compute when using regex so it wasn't implemented in vanitygen but the above should give you can idea based on your computer's speed. edit: I forgot about 8 [611.76 Kkey/s][total 12742494][Found 94] about 135 thousand per addresse

It shouldn't take years. At approx. 600 Kkey/s I can find 34 addresses with nine digit runs using vanitygen64 -k -r -o filename.txt 1[\d]{8}
Maybe you can use those numbers to figure out your time. I'm running at 3.1Kkey/s, like I said, I'm using a very old PC, I will probably run it on a different machine and see how that goes. So it should take you about 5 and a half minutes per address with a 9 digit run. That's not terrible. Just let it run and walk away for a while. Drop it back to searching for 8 digits and you should be able to find about 1 every minute. I have left it for the past half an hour now and there is no file, do I have to create it first for the address to be stored in or will it be made when an address is found? So far it says I have searched 10 million addresses @ 10million, you should have found 7 or 8 by now. That's odd. There is no need to create the file as it will be created as required. You don't see anything else on the screen?

I have vanitygen running on my pc and I was wondering if there was a way I could search for something like the first 8 characters must be a number but any number is ok. I can only see an option to search for an exact number or a set of characters.
This is very easy. Vanity gen uses regular expressions. Just start VanityGen and type this at the command line: I like this method! It is much more concise than what I showed you. Still you may get a result which is not at the beginning of the address. Also you can save the output to a file and use the -k switch so it will continue generating addresses of the specified format. vanitygen64 -k -r -o filename.txt 1[\d]{8}
Use ctrl-c to stop the program. The problem I am having right now is that when I use -r it does not estimate a time to reach 50%. The pc I'm using is old so I would need that to know if I'm wasting my time on an address that would take years to find. Is there a calculation I could use to work out how long or is there an easier way? Shoot because I put the leading 1 combined with {8} it is looking for a 9 number sequence beginning with 1 change it to vanitygen64 -k -r -o filename.txt 1[\d]{7}
for 8 numbers or even vanitygen64 -k -r -o filename.txt 1[\d]{6}
for 7 numbers if it still takes too long.

You should move this to beginners and help section. See link at the bottom left for move topicYou have to use regex so use the -r switch but it doesn't work with OCL so you will lose speed. This will find occurrences of exactly 8 numbers in a row but it will appear anywhere in the address You could try a leading one like this to get the beginning of the address but that will not always show up at the beginning. I think the ^ character represents the start of a string but I can't seem to get it to cooperate.
