Vanitygen search

[Tanagi]

If anyone is willing and has the skills to help me with this, I am more than happy to pay for the help.

Please dm me for the full details if interested.

Thanks.

If you talk about project https://github.com/JeanLucPons/VanitySearch/, then take a look at file
https://github.com/JeanLucPons/VanitySearch/blob/master/Vanity.cpp
There in line 306 the process of setting initial key starts. If you ignore the next like (sha256), and set your desired key, it should work. Ah, and of course do not use 'rekey' option.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
I'm no programmer though, so I'd still like to find someone who could do this for me.

I will try to prepare a version when you may pass that desired startKey as a parameter, maybe today, maybe tomorrow. I will let you know.

I have prepared a simple patch under https://github.com/PawelGorny/VanitySearch
There is a new parameter --startPriv where you may specify the private key which should be used as a base key for the program. Honestly speaking I do not know why one would like to use it, as program does not work sequentially (operations on public keys create private keys in different ranges), so it cannot be used as a replacement for tools like "BitCrack". But I suppose it could be one of ways to "remember" how to restore a given vanity address - if you know how you specified initial key, you may know how to restore it.
For example, search for 1o1ag9U may be very demanding, but if you know you started search from a given key, it could be instant (BTW, it gives nice hit, no?)

Code:

VanitySearch.exe -stop --startPriv abcdef1234567890987654321fedcba 1o1ag9U
