On the other hand, they spam scam all over the forum, so you can report them to moderator and they will do their thing.
In the meantime we have enough proof of violated rules by arguelles84 to take action, but our German mod is away since November for unkonwn reasons ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18312) The Altcoin section (Bounty / ANN) is well known for its large number of spam topics produced by bots or shills. Normally a moderator can trash such topics completely where almost only bots or shills post how great the project is. It's also possible to ban a user for spam if the case is an obvious one (and if it's in addition ponzi s(c/p)am). At least a temporary ban (14 days) would be appropriate in my opinion: The new ban-message includes ban for spam Sorry ..., you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum. You have been permanently banned by a forum moderator, probably due to spam or plagiarism. You may appeal here, but your chances are not good:... arguelles84 has repeatedly broken the rules and I have added another feedback: He is going to random other threads, necrobumping them and promotes his ponzi scam. Following rules are affected: 2. No off-topic posts. (z.B. advertising his ponzi spam in other topics) 22. Advertising (this includes mining pools, gambling services, exchanges, shops, etc.) in others threads' is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, in altcoin announcement threads. (see above nr. 2) 24. Advertisements (including signatures within the post area) in posts aren't allowed unless the post is in a thread you started and is really substantial and useful. (see above nr. 2) 27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed. (his OP was reported as translation spam here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4415262.msg48541013#msg48541013) And finally: 23. When deciding if a user has broken the rules, the staff have the right to follow their interpretation of the rules. reference: inofficial forum rules (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0)It's quite possible to ban him at least for 14 days and when he comes back and continues to do his shitshow he will receive a 28 days ban. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

There's not much point to this. The thing is with trust is that people tend to judge users on their trust feedback, and therefore may dismiss valuable information.
Well, there are many cases where it will be beneficial to show trust for everyone. The case above is a very good example or all the ongoing (self-moderated (!)) ICO scams. Normal warnings will be deleted immediately there. If we enable trust visible for guests, everyone can go to the trust page and judge for himself. The important thing is that it's possible to see it, even if someone is not logged in.

I vote for this!
+100 And also make trust ratings visible for guests. Beginners and help is a section which is also often visited by guests which are not logged in and therefore can't see the trust score / links to the trust page of someone.

Wenn ich 1 ETH gewinnen sollte, mache ich mit der Hälfte (0,5 ETH) ein Gewinnspiel im deutschen Forum. Noch ein Hinweis: da du das im Bounty Bereich gepostet hast, wirst du wahrscheinlich damit rechnen müssen, dass dort Leute versuchen werden, dein Gewinnspiel zu gamen und mit extremst vielen Accounts höchstwahrscheinlich einfach irgendwas ankreuzen, nur um an das ETH zu kommen. Ich hoffe, du kannst das alles aussortieren. LG

The main reason that I went for this solution rather than forcing custom lists is that I would like to show some trust indicator to guests. But before doing that, I want to see whether these modifications can actually be made to work. If not, then I may go to the force-custom-lists solution, and that's incompatible with guests seeing any trust indicators.
I appreciate the decision of showing trust to guests. Here is another reason why it's important to enable it soon: In my new topic for newbies about Bitcoin vanity addresses (vanitygen) user Velkro left a comment and he supports bitcoinvanitygen. com a well known online 3rd-party scamsite for vanity addresses in his signature. Users from outside of the forum don't see his trust rating and can't follow the links to his trust page to read more. If we don't warn manually, like LoyceV and I did, it's still very likely that users from outside the forum will get scammed.

WARNINGUser Velkro is a scammer!Velkro's post (2 posts above this one) promotes his scamsite in his signature. I think it's a big mistake not to show trust on this board, that's why he loves posting in threads like this one, hoping to steal more Bitcoins from naive users. Check his red trust for Reference links to at least several Bitcoins worth of theft. NEVER trust a private key created by someone else! Thanks for your warning, I completely agree with you. Another reason to show trust to people from outside of the forum (not logged in) and when they click on your reference link show them all trust ratings. Therefore, here are the reference links: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1476782.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=552395.0![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FEHOEnEZ.jpg&t=664&c=U81nJgAb4RiDBQ)

--- für 1miau: Ich werde den Text hier in diesem Post noch Verfeinern und wenn ich fertig bin kannst du es deinem Text hinzufügen wenn du möchtest (1.a WIN 1.b Linux z.b.).
Danke für die Mühe! Werde deinen Beitrag dann verlinken! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) wie angekündigt habe ich es heute versucht... und hat auch geklappt. allerdings war es mit mole dank dem l nicht möglich.
Haha, ja stimmt, da war doch was... :/ 1MOLE würde auch nicht gehen, wegen dem O, das einzige wäre 1MoLe. Kleines o und großes L funktioniert und sollte selbst bei [205.60 Kkey/s] schnell einen Treffer liefern und für eine adresse mit 7 stellen nach der 1 läuft das teil mittlerweile seit 10 minuten und noch kein ende in sicht. werde dann hier berichten wenn das fertig ist... oder mein PC explodiert ist ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) //edit: bei diesen daten habe ich es aufgegeben. "[205.60 Kkey/s][total 132010906][Prob 0.0%][50% in 5.5y]"da explodiert wirklich die CPU bevor es zum ergebnis kommt... mit der GPU version sieht es etwas besser aus. aber ich denke das projekt hebe ich mir auf bis ich bei einem leistungsstärkeren client sitze ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Ja, das macht dann wohl keinen Sinn. Welche Kombination war das denn? Wenn du interessante Kombinationen hast, kannst du bei LoyceV fragen, ob er sie in seine Liste aufnimmt. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit wird damit zwar nicht höher, aber immer wenn er was generiert laufen alle in der Liste aufgeführten Kombinationen mit, da es keinen Unterschied maht, wie viel man gleichzeitig sucht: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.msg33155827#msg33155827https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5096373.msg49198674#msg49198674Solche Adressen hat er da mit drin: 1Bitmover 1BitMover 1bitmover 1bitMover 1DarkStar 1Darkstar 1DARKSTAR 1darkstar 1darkStar Aber das macht er nicht mehr oft... Wahrscheinlichkeit ist wie gesagt überaus gering... Habe mich damit eigentlich noch nie beschäftigt, das man die Keys importieren kann ist ja klar, aber kann ich die neue Adresse auch zu meiner bestehenden Wallet/Adressen hinzufügen/importieren?
Bin zwar kein Electrum Profi, aber der Import in eine bestehende wallet mit Seed dürfte meiner Meinung nach nicht gehen. Bzw. habe ich davon noch nichts gehört. Laut FAQ von Electrum geht es nicht: In Electrum 2.0, you cannot import private keys in a wallet that has a seed. You should sweep them instead. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-import-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clientsMehr Infos zu import / sweep gibt es hier: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5096100.0 Also mit sweep kann man Bitcoins auf eine wallet mit seed transferieren, aber damit wechseln nur die Bitcoins die Adresse. Die Adresse selbst, auf der Bitcoins vorher waren, ist damit nicht nach Electrum importiert worden.

So, bei IoTeX gibts Interesse und gefühlte Zustimmung für eine Signaturkampagne. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Das wäre mein Vorschlag ans Team. Gebt mir doch bitte mal Feedback dazu. Wenn ihr nur eine Signaturkampagne plant, könnt ihr auch überlegen, ob ihr in ETH oder sogar BTC auszahlen lasst. Erfahrungsgemäß erzeugen solche Kampagnen eine deutlich höhere Resonanz, da dort eher die Teilnehmer mitmachen, die nicht gerade im Spam-Megathread im Altcoinbereich auf Seite 45 kommentieren wo es eh keiner liest, sondern in Bereichen, die öfter gesehen werden, auch von außerhalb (die per Google Suche im Bitcointalk landen). Auszahlungen in ETH und BTC erübrigen zudem die Durchführung von KYC und das spart Zeit + Geld, die man sonst dafür bräuchte (sowie Unmut der Bounty-Teilnehmer) und es hat den Vorteil, dass die Token nicht direkt nach Listing gedumped werden. Dazu könnt ihr noch überlegen, ob ihr es Merit-basiert macht, um gute Kommentare zu fördern. Z.B. so: Stakes calculation:
Jr. Member: 2 stakes per week Member: 4 stakes per week Full Member: 6 stakes per week Sr Member: 8 stakes per week Hero and Legendary: 10 stakes per week Wearing our official Avatar and personal text: 2 stake per week
To reward good post quality, you’ll receive 1 extra stake per Merit you receive during the time wearing the signature. It doesn’t matter if you get the Merit for new posts or for posts you made before, but you have to wear IoTeX signature while receiving the Merit.
Buying Merits or sending Merits from your alts to your account for getting more stakes is not allowed and will lead to disqualification if detected.
Zudem gäbe es auch durchaus die Möglichkeit, von der normalen Stake-Zahlungsweise abzuweichen und pro Woche einen bestimmten Betrag in ETH oder BTC bereitzustellen. Ihr sagt z.B. es gibt 100 Plätze und pro Kommentar gibt es 0,00025 BTC (kann je nach Rang natürlich variieren) und bis zu 10 Posts die Woche sind erlaubt. Wenn jemand z.B. pro Woche 10 Posts macht, bekommt er 0,0025 BTC. Ausgezahlt wird am Ende der Kampagne. Solche Kampagnen sind sehr beliebt, man braucht dort ebenfalls kein KYC, die Belohnungen verfallen nicht wenn man auch mal nur 9 Posts pro Woche macht. Die obige Variante würde IoTeX dann pro Woche bei voller Belegung 0,25 BTC kosten (ca. 750$), Zahlen könnten natürlich nach Bedarf angepasst werden. Die Auswahl der Teilnehmer erfolgt dazu durch den Bounty-Manager individiell, dass er nur Leute im Spreadsheet akzeptiert, wenn die Post-Qualität hoch genug ist, oder man sichert die Postqualität zusätzlich so: Jr. Member: 0,00005BTC per comment (20 slots available) Member: 0,0001BTC per comment (20 slots available) Full Member: 0,00015BTC per comment (20 slots available) Sr Member: 0,00025BTC per comment (20 slots available) Hero and Legendary: 0,0004BTC per comment (20 slots available) Wearing our official Avatar and personal text: 0,00005BTC per comment
To reward good post quality, you’ll receive 0,0005BTC per Merit you receive during the time wearing the signature....Wäre mein Vorschlag an der Stelle, aber habe kein Plan, was IoTeX sich konkret vorstellt. Habt ihr Tipps für Leute, die gute Signaturen entwerfen können?
Tipps nicht direkt, habe noch keine bestellt, aber hier ist eine Liste: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1610428.0Zwei soll sehr günstig sein mit $15.

Do you know which ones and why? I'll add it also to my OP. I can't reproduce the details of "why", but you can quite easily test it: just take a prefix and change the first character. Adding more "ones" (1111111) makes it much harder to find too. Ok, nice to know, also added to my OP. And I've added some real addresses. I read the OP, and will read it again carefully to comprehensively catch your ideas. By now, I am curious that whether the approach will create higher secured address than others created in Blockchain.info's BTC wallets or not. Would you mind clarifying a little bit more about the most advantages of vanity address, please.
The split-key process and the guide to turn off Internet connection before creating vanity address, spliting keys are valuable one.
Security of your vanity address depends on how you create it. If you create it while your internet connection is active it might be insecure and I don't recommend it. Like LoyceV said, security is very important and it also depends on how much BTC you want to send to it. If you import it in Electrum, it won't be safer than Electrum anyways... Creating vanity addresses is normally not the first reason of getting an address, which is much safer than others. It's more a reason that you create an unique address and can use it for example for small payments. However, it's still possible to create very secure addresses with vanitygen but in my opinion the main reason vanity generators were developed for the ability to genereate customized addresses and add a prefix.

Apologies for posting english on this non-local thread.
I just notice palai on your profile before, but now you removed it. Do you have any update about it?
Hello! Yes I removed it and replaced it by my guides about Bitcoin vanity addresses ( English / German). I don't have an update about Palai, I wrote a mail a few weeks ago, the first one was answered but the second mail is still not answered. I know someone from the city where the project ist based (Leipzig) and he is also looking for updates but very busy right now. If I get a response to my second mail I'll let everyone know, but unfortunately I don't have any updates yet, Devs seems to be very lazy (if they are even active anymore ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ) Hope you can also make a topic about palai and mannabase outside your local board, it'll be much better if you can share it to us too.
Right now, I'm not planning to do it, but if you want you can do a translation.

Ich selbst bin (Stand heute, 11.01.2019) in DefaultTrust, rechne aber nicht damit, dass das auch nur über die nächste Wahl (Montag, 14.01.2019) anhält. Damit dürfte dann wieder kein "Deutscher" in DT1 sein, was ich persönlich schade finde. Andererseits haben wir eine Menge Leute in DT2 (also eine Stufe weiter unten, was bei der voreingestellten Depth von 2 immer noch berücksichtigt wird), insofern ist es auch nicht weiter schlimm.
Also ich glaube schon, dass du bleibst. Viele haben dich in deiner Liste und das wurde seit dem letzten Update nicht weniger. Es sei denn, ich habe bei der neuen Kalkulation was falsch verstanden, die Anhebung der 100 auf 250 Merits dürfte da nicht viel dran ändern. Maximal einen Ausgleich, dass die Liste nicht übervoll wird, wenn viele eine Trust-Liste aufsetzen. Solltest du allerdings bei DT1 abgewählt werden, würden auch viele unserer DT2-Positionen abgewählt werden, weil es ja maßgeblich drauf ankommt, wen jemand von DT1 in seiner Trust-Liste hat. Meine vorzeitige Trust-Liste sieht so aus: theymos phantastisch OgNasty SebastianJu qwk Vod fronti ~cryptohunter DefaultTrust allyouracid hilariousandco Avirunes Buchi-88 cryptodevil suchmoon hodlcoins yahoo62278 ~Quickseller bones261 LoyceV The Pharmacist DarkStar_ marlboroza Lafu Hhampuz xtraelv krogothmanhattan Halab coinlocket$ mole0815 Souri asche Alex_Sr Coolcryptovator ICOEthics
Letztes Mal editiert: 06.04.2019 das trust (und merit) system hier ist und bleibt, ein propagandawerkzeug der bitcoincentristen/maximalisten,
und so wird es auch verwendet, wer diesen schrott (trustsystem) ernst nimmt ist selberschuld, oder halt einer dieser bekloppten pow cultisten hier.
Das Trust System ist eigentlich so gedacht das die User die Bescheid wissen ihre eigene Liste erstellen. Mach das doch bitte anstatt so einen Schwachsinn hier zu verbreiten. Ich glaube das ist brotlos... in etwa so wie cryptohunter in Meta. Wen es interessiert: In Meta wurde viele neue Beiträge über das Trust-System veröffentlich: Customized Trust Network – Interactive tool to see who we trust/distrust von DdmrDdmr The new DT system, updated 10 JaN 2019 von coinlocket$ A short introduction to the Trust System von qwk Mal gespannt, wie sich die neue Liste am Montag zeigt. Dann kann man die Statistiken alle wieder überarbeiten. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Edit: vielleicht sollte man in dieses Chaos, wenn viele Nutzer in Meta sind, einmal den Vorschlag unterbreiten, dass wir einen zweiten Moderator bekommen, da phantastisch schon seit 2 Monaten nicht mehr aktiv war. Was meint ihr?

Nice guide for beginners! Can I add some comments? Yes, contributing comments are always welcome! Maybe you have seen a Bitcoin address where the first letters are a word, similar like this:
1bitcoinFhq5qD3dDfHw6Lq4xdm81q15uT 1FUDfm8Fhq5qD3dDfHw6Lq4xdm81q15uT 1satoshi8Fhq5qD3dDfHw6Lq4xdm81q15uT You probably know it already, but these are not valid Bitcoin addresses. Can you replace them by real examples (you can find some here)? You are right, I just typed some random combinations to show what I mean. Tomorrow, I'll replace them and create real vanity addresses where the checksum will match. Prefix 1FUD, 1fomo or similar. I can also add some from the hall of fame or your special ones. 2. Turn off internet connection while generating your Bitcoin address
It’s also possible to create a vanity address when your internet connection is active, but for security reasons no internet connection is recommended. It would be even safer if you run the program on a computer that was never connected to the internet, but you can decide for yourself which security level is sufficient. Unplugging your internet connection is not enough. Be paranoid and assume your PC is compromised with malware that patiently waits until you go online again. Even if it was never connected to the internet before, you shouldn't connect it afterwards either. One option to work around this would be using a split key approach, in which the key is generated from an offline LIVE Linux system, and never touches your online PC. Thanks, I'll add more text later to my OP and also link your comment here. You can write it down on a sheet of paper, store it in a safe place and save it also on an USB stick that you only use for your private keys. Make sure to TEST IT before funding the address. Don't end up like this case. Good comment, it's always important to test if before someone plans to send a larger sum to it. I'll also add it to my OP. There are other ways offered on websites to create a vanity address, but I don’t recommend creating such an address on a website. If you create your address by a third party (the website), there is a possibility that someone can get access to your private keys. This warning can be a bit bigger: If someone knows your private key, you don't own it and it will get stolen! Any website that offers you vanity addresses without using split key is a SCAM. Added If you like, you can post your customized vanity address here (but please without private key if you are planning to use it.) My best one: 1NewbornSeatQVC9vegVHnxVseNAhhxewbNice one, how long did it take? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) But I think I will make one for me 1bitmover ... On my hardware, 1Bitmover would take 2 months for 50% chance. The lower case 1bitmover is 58 times less likely. That may be worth adding to the OP too: some starting characters are more likely than others. Do you know which ones and why? I'll add it also to my OP. That's a very nice guide indeed. I never made one for me because I am too paranoid with security. I agree with Loycev, turning off internet is not enough. But I think I will make one for me 1bitmover .... Or a 3bitmover... Sadly vanity gen doesn't work with segwit addresses Nulius made this for generating a segwit vanity address. I never tested: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2934774.0I read from LoyceV that he has a list of seldom Bitcoin vanity addresses which he is still searching. Maybe he can include your 1bitmover / 1Bitmover /1BitMover because when he runs it, vanitygen will search all keys anyways.

How to add a Bitcoin address to Electrum / Difference between sweep and import private keysThis post is an additional post to this one, which explains how to create your own unique Bitcoin address (vanity address). To use external bitcoin addresses (like a paperwallet) in Electrum, there are two functions: sweep and import. Both functions enable to access the balances of the Bitcoin addresses via Electrum. It is possible to import any wallets there, but you need to own the private key. This can be very helpful if you still have an old paperwallet and want to transfer the Bitcoins, an address that you are currently using in another client and would like to use in Electrum or to use your self-created vanity address. ImportImport is useful to import a Bitcoin address as new wallet to Electrum. The Bitcoins will stay on this wallet and you can access this wallet after importing it to Electrum. It’s also important that this imported wallet will not have a seed and you can’t restore it from a seed because there is none. If you don’t lose the private key, you don’t need a seed either. SweepIn comparison, the sweep function transfers your bitcoins from your original wallet to a new one in Electrum. Since a Bitcoin transaction (from the old to the new wallet) will happen, sweep requires an internet connection and transaction costs. In order to be able to use a previously created vanity address in Electrum, the function to be used is import.
It works like this: 1. Open Electrum Open Electrum and go to File => New/Restore ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2Fkctndcd%2FzwhwpAp.jpg&t=664&c=FO3vz5zUOO3nIA) 2. Choose a name Choose a name for your wallet which you want to import and click on Next ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FGHFxCqr%2FduS99RC.jpg&t=664&c=hLl2I7FYCTJMOA) 3. Choose Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FryHjVLF%2FF6TD76y.jpg&t=664&c=F9b3CGLSZEaJ2g) 4. Enter your private key to import the addressNow you can copy your private key from the .txt file and paste it into the window opening at Electrum. Theoretically, you could also import several private keys. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FJ58yd8v%2Fgug68LY.png&t=664&c=Q8ZOxaGgNmSJtw) 5. Select a password, write it down and click on Next![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FFmmT2VT%2FM7Vqb6i.jpg&t=664&c=FwOurz0XHvg9_w) And finally, you have imported your 1test wallet successfully. You can now transfer BTC to your wallet or send BTC if you have sent BTC to it before. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FgJSJSFr%2FkxiRLdR.jpg&t=664&c=rR1fi3y-eplKYg) Done ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Update: if you want to import / sweep a SegWit address (prefix 3 / bc1q) you need to add the following lines in front of your private keys: Nested SegWit adresses 3... (P2SH-P2WPKH) or Native SegWit bech32 addresses bc1q... (P2WPKH) or SourceOr just click "info" when you are importing Bitcoin addresses to see what exactly you have to add: Done ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) TranslationsReserving new translations is currently not available.

Maybe you have seen a Bitcoin address where the first letters are a word, similar like this: 1 fudCz15sHGR8L2YQnaG4JVMjMQpaDo37 1 BTCTUnYLskK7N9nXb17wf6oVYMYrX5WHG 1 DogemNVw8AZnMf3cB4L1wijGnr9DVKzia 1 Fomo7V86nWrjdv6JzU7yavtp5hfzZWsZr 1 NewbornSeatQVC9vegVHnxVseNAhhxewb (1)Such addresses are vanity addresses and theoretically, it’s possible to generate every word with a few exceptions, but the number of the selected letters is limited. The reason is because you can use a tool and generate as many addresses as you like until you have found one with the desired combination of letters. The longer your prefix, the less likely a quick hit. Upper case letters are more likely to find than lower case letters. For example, the prefix 1Bitmover would take 2 months for 50% chance. The lower case 1bitmover is 58 times less likely. (2)A few letters are excluded, because these are generally not part of Bitcoin addresses to avoid possible confusions: l (letter lower L) I (letter upper I) O (letter upper O) 0 (number 0) as well as all umlauts There are several ways to generate a unique Bitcoin address. However, I recommend using the official version with vanitygen, uploaded by samr7 on Github. There are other ways offered on websites to create a vanity address, but I don’t recommend creating such an address on a website. If you create your address by a third party (the website), there is a possibility that someone can get access to your private keys. There have been problems in the past where bitcoins were stolen from such vanity addresses created on websites because if someone knows your private key he has a chance to steal your Bitcoins from your wallet. Therefore, please make sure to use the original version, which can be found on Github and you can run it without internet connection. Every website offering a service to create a vanity addresses without split key is dangerous.
That's how it works: 1. Download vanitygen:First you have to go to Github and download the original files from samr7, you can follow this link: https://github.com/samr7/vanitygenYou can download the latest version: vanitygen-0.22-win.zip The latest version is available here: https://github.com/downloads/samr7/vanitygen/vanitygen-0.22-win.zip![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FzW3F8MG%2FerBcgNt.jpg&t=664&c=YGQkWTAfhPpjbA) 2. Turn off internet connection while generating your Bitcoin addressIt’s also possible to create a vanity address when your internet connection is active, but for security reasons no internet connection is recommended. It would be even safer if you run the program on a computer that was never connected to the internet, but you can decide for yourself which security level is sufficient. It's always recommend to prefer high security standards to avoid any problems resulted by hacks because it's always possible that your device is compromised. If you want maximal security you can generate your vanity address via split-key. 3. Open the Command Prompt / PowerShellYou can start the Command Prompt by a right-click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner of your screen and select Command Prompt (Administrator) or simply using the key combination Windows + R orif you do it like that you can skip #4 if you open the Command Prompt directly from where your vanity files are stored: 1. Go to the folder where vanitygen/oclvanitygen is stored. 2. Using Command Prompt: Press CTRL+SHIFT+Right Click on an empty space within the folder (not on the executable/files), click "Open command window here". Now the Command Prompt opens. [1]2. Using Power Shell: Press SHIFT+Right Click on an empty space within the folder (not on the executable/files), click "Open PowerShell window here". Now PowerShell (Command Prompt) opens. [2]3. You can start directly to enter the details you want, like described in step 5. (source: nc50lc [1], nc50lc [2]) 4. Enter pathsThis will open the Command Prompt window and start settings for the bitcoin address generation process. The paths depend on where you have stored your vanitygen files. I have saved these on C:\ in the folder BTC, subfolder vgen. I have to enter the following code to find the vanitygen.exe file: C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd/ C:\ >cd/ BTC/ vgenC:\ BTC\ vgen> vanitygen.exeFolder BTCSubfolder vgenFile name vanitygen.exeYou can try vanitygen.exe or use the file oclvanitygen.exe, it’s up to you which one you prefer. The difference between them is that vanitygen is CPU-based and oclvanitygen GPU-based. For our 4-digit combination, don’t matter if case-sensitive or case-insensitive, vanitygen is sufficient on a normal PC, oclvanitygen tends to be faster, if it works. For the technical background you'll find more information in the original article from 2011: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0. Now this should look like this (with the corresponding paths where you have saved your subfolders and files): ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FbRVH5Wh%2FSItATLk.jpg&t=664&c=0mCFWzw0paCfmw) When you have entered the file name of the .exe file in the Command Prompt, press Enter. 5. Creation of the addressNow you see a list showing an overview of the available parameters to customize your address: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FLR0TxcR%2FYMXXZNE.jpg&t=664&c=pRGMBGWRHH660w) There are much more comments, if you have time you can try them but for our test a few commands are enough. As an example, I’ll show how to create a Bitcoin address with the first letters "test", everything written in lower case to generate a Bitcoin address that starts with 1test. There are a few general things to keep in mind: the longer your prefix, the longer the search will take. This is not a problem with 4 digits, but it will take exponentially more time if there are more digits. In particular, if you want exactly the specified upper and lower case (case sensitive), the search takes longer than if upper and lower case would not matter (case insensitive). If it’s ok for you to have mixed letters, both upper and lower case (TeSt, teST…), you can change it by adding the -i (case insensitive) command. To create the 1test address, we need the following commands: -o C:\BTC\vgen\test.txt (saving the found private and public keys in a text file) 1test (your selected prefix) Your command should look like this now: C:\BTC\vgen>vanitygen.exe -o C:\BTC\vgen\test.txt 1test![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FWspCQPv%2Flj4tByY.jpg&t=664&c=QhnqRCV6LsGYUw) If you are ready and have done the steps above, press Enter. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2F5Yf6D10%2FF6QvN70.jpg&t=664&c=LA-ZPjXhQEe-JA) Now, the tool is searching for a public key with corresponding prefix (rate: 1.17 million keys per second). 50% in 2.4 minutes means your probability is 50% to find a public key with 1test in the next 2.4 minutes. The 5.1% is the probability of having found a hit in the already calculated keys so far. If there is a hit, it will be shown and the search will be stopped. For the next time you can also add the comment -k, to search for multiple hits until you close vanitygen. Please also be careful and don't exaggerate it, if your PC or laptop may be overtaxed if the performance is not very high and may damage it. Our example of a 4-digit prefix should not be a problem, but with more digits difficulty will increase exponentially to find an address. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FTv2QPyt%2FQz4q1M4.jpg&t=664&c=p3ZxDs6Oh_Z6ig) And surprise surprise, after a short time (around 2 minutes) vanitygen was successful and found an address: 1testgTQyiDMvtN67kj1w6R6J9dbo6bwd and following associated private key: 5K9qCsz17Bd1UxtS7HQWc2rKz6ssNaBHMzK8pJvYiDGVYvUSEWg The result is also stored as .txt file in our folder BTC: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2Fpn8CRKY%2FFhS9Wb1.jpg&t=664&c=LrNxPPJFn4hlFQ) Of course, I won’t use this 1test address because now everyone knows the private key and could steal Bitcoins from it. Therefore: don’t publish your private key anywhere. 6. Save your generated public and private keySecurity is always very important when it comes to Bitcoin. Keep your generated private key very safe, because it’s like the password to your Bitcoins. You can write it down on a sheet of paper, store it in a safe place and save it also on an USB stick that you only use for your private keys. 7. Done! Now, you have successfully created your own Bitcoin address. If you want to access it (like via Electrum) you can have a look here. Make sure to test your address before you send large sums of Bitcoin to it. There is no way to figure out your private key afterwards if you have made a mistake. In addition, I have created another vanity address, but I don’t tell you the private key: 1miau7e4tFSAGR4TkAJ8n32UMm2yLB9EH ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) If you like, you can post your customized vanity address here (but please without private key if you are planning to use it). © 1miau 11.01.2019 Additional links: Security advice from LoyceVVanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner release 2011 [v0.22]Rare address hall of fame (1) generated by LoyceV(2) on hardware of LoyceV
Update 04/04/2019: Member Jean_Luc has developed another vanity-address-generator and published it on GitHub: https://github.com/JeanLucPons/VanitySearchIt's much faster than vanitygen and supports besides P2PKH legacy addresses (1..) also SegWit addresses P2SH (3...) and bech32 (bc1q...).
