Bitcoin Address Vanity Generator

[eckmar]

Almost every online vanity address generator is a scam. They all steal your wallet private keys. There is a way to generate vanity address from command line but some people just don't want to mess with that so i created Vanity Generator with GUI. App is build using electron and code is free for everyone on GitHub.

How to use it:

There is passphrase input box. You can enter there whatever you want and that is what's your address going to look like (Please note that all addresses start with 1, you don't need to include 1 !)

Case Sensitive

There is Case Sensitive checkbox. If you select it that means generator will search only for address with exact match. For example if your passphrase is "TeSt" BTC address is goin to start with 1TeSt, if you leave it unchecked your address can be 1TEST or 1TeST or 1test and so on...
This feature greatly impact on general speed of the app.

How fast it is ?

Speed of generation depends on your CPU specs !

Why should we use this instead of the long-standing tried and true Vanitygen: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0 ?

I think, instead of giving time estimation as Short/Medium/Long, it is good if you can put in some estimated figure in second/minute/hour. I understand, those wont be accurate, but still an estimation is better than some Short/Medium/Long.

That would be a cool feature but it require some work. I can try to do it next week but what i'm working on right now is improving general speed of the app, as that is something that everyone wants i think

I like it!
Also wanted to say that electron looks really fun to play with. Desktop apps from nodejs code - very cool.

Yeah i like it too ! Electron is great tool overall. Only (but major) disadvantage is speed of created apps. C++ and C# are much better and faster languages for desktop app development
