@Joel: cool program! It's awesome that you are programming even as someone without a programming background. It's really that easy to get started. No degree is required! heh

@Remember remember the 5th of November, bitsta:
If anything, I think making it open-source on a public repository allows the contents to be viewed online easily without downloading the entire zip file with all the source code, etc. As an "open-source" project, it should probably be on a public repository. Make the EXE a release/tag.

What bitsta said about not knowing what's in a compressed file is true. Ever heard of zip bombs? That's one example. Anyway, you never really know what's in a zip file unless you download it first or if it's hosted somewhere where you can view the contents (like github). And IMO in this day-and-age, I wouldn't really consider this open-source code. It's merely public code. "Open-source" generally means to many programmers a collaborative effort for which the source files can be modified and improved by the community and redistributed easily. Public repositories like github allow that to happen. It's not hard to get started.

Thank you got your response I would definitely agree and urge anyone who has an interest in developing to give it a go all of the resources are widely available.

I will be reading the application of Github either tonight or tomorrow so stay tunned.

Hello all,

This was my first post on bitcoin talk however it was removed due to possible malware (please keep reading.)  After seeking advise on the site as to how I can release the software I was advised by Quickseller and Grand_Voyageur to make it open source.  After looking into making it open source I quickly realised it was not going to be a fast process.  So why not release the source code to the community.

Please bear in mind I studied accountancy and am not a developer.  I have self taught over the past few years so my code is nothing special.  I am sure some laughs will be had but it was knocked up between NYE and now (04/01/2015.)

Anyway this is how my initial post went (Includes source now)

I am new to the BitCoin community (1 Month ish) and have been completely amazed at what I have learnt.  From the bitcoin architecture to the personal stories of success and failure.

One thing that has interested me is vanity wallet addresses.  I found you could easily create them online using web services.  But then you ask how secure are they really and how trustworthy are the owners.

After reading several articles I came across VanityGen.
Post Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0

VanityGen allows you to easily generate Vanity Keys on you local machine.  The only issue I had was that VaniyGen only supports command lines.  This is fine for people who are familiar with using command lines.  But what about users who are less computer literate?  They may resort to less secure methods such as web services or paid services.

After failing to find a desktop application I decided to make my own 'Joels VanityGen GUI'

What does it do?

The application allows users to easily create Vanity Keys using VanityGen without the need for entering command lines.  The application simply creates the commands based on your setting and executes them.

Features:
Auto detect OS x64 or x32 (vanitygen64.exe, vanitygen.exe)
Supports CPU & GPU
Displays Statistics + Progress bar
View console output
Supports -o Output (VanityGen output feature)
The Application does not record or store and keys create
On load the application warns if the computer is connected to the internet

Evening,

I created a post earlier and it was removed.  After contacting BadBear (An online administrator) he advised it was probably due to suspected malware which if completely understandable as I have one post in which I release an .exe

BadBear advised me to post here Smiley

Please could someone test/ verify my application as I believe it will help some members in the community.  Also I would like to release it 1st on this forum as it has been very useful during development.
