Great news everyone! I had some free time and decided to mess with vanitygen 0.22, and it seems like I got the vanity address generator for CGB working! The privkey that gets generated works with the importprivkey command. My client froze a bit when I tried importing it, then I restarted and the vanity address was there with the label I assigned to it I don't know why this didn't work before, but whatever. this was the command I used: oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -X 11 5mon -k I don't know if you can get any prefix, sometimes it refuses some of them. This was the outcome: Invalid character '-' in prefix '-k' Difficulty: 78508 Pattern: 5mon Address: 5monn2szHyGJvKvfYBen28WE1CfMLUBa5p Privkey: 5fJyL7E1vcALFyLcnWBs45whQFQm25rnaU5SCJbT1Ngh3aTCkKw and after restarting the client: Hope this takes a little bit off the load Merc!! I sent a coin to you to test the address. It looks like all is well and it's confirming.

"However, Bitcoin transaction as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in the premise own risk."
Keyword: commodity.
I anticipated this and I doubt China will be the first. This opens the door for taxation benefits for conducting business based out of certain countries (related to the virtual 'commodity' versus 'currency' debate), since it is contrary to Germany's ruling that bitcoin is 'private currency'.
Let the legislative games begin...
Absolutely. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... Are there any economic historians out there who can shed some light on what this means in terms of legislation? The only analogue I'm aware of is gold, outlawed in the '30s (US). (edit: typo)

A few of the languages were from the old version of the site and we filled in the voids temporarily until we can get professional translations...but Chinese, French, Spanish, and Italian should be legit. German is okay but iffy in some parts. Dutch is iffy in many parts. And apparently Swedish and Turkish are awful. I'll get professional translations to fix what needs fixing but I'll leave the site as is for now. I'm working on something with the Abe explorer node so please use http://coinplorer.com/CGB for block explorer queries in the meantime. you can add italian aswell to the list of the awful translation, if you need any help just pm me

This isn't anything personal, but as a web developer I find the CGB site a little too heavy (for being the official site of a currency) with the artificial motion scrolling and added effects and all. IMO, it should be lighter and a little brighter maybe? Just my two satoshi.

Yes that is why good translations are important, for many countries at least. In Germany for example it is really not all THAT important as most people can speak enough english to understand I think. But a bad translation never leaves a good impression. Merc just out of curiosity, what kind of service were you using that seems to provide such bad results? Better let the community do it, there are enough of us willing to help

I did use forum members for a few of the translations: Swedish, Turkish, and German. lol I used a professional translator for Chinese. (quite expensive) And I used a language enthusiast/student for French, Spanish, and Italian (Italian being his weakest, but acceptable enough). And he was able to find a Russian translator online, which it seems to be acceptable as well. So, I'm hiring professional translators with real translation credentials from now on. Swedish is already being worked on as I type. Turkish and German are next. Hindi and Portuguese are next translations to go live, most likely late next week. It depends on the translators.

Perhaps really enough English. It is an international language. In Russia prefer to play at Mt.Gox and BTC - e And when there appear currency - translation will be even less relevant. Serious investors read about all currency. In any language I am a moderator of a large resource. See mood users

I know some discussion around using vanitygen has been happening but they've been workarounds for the most part. I worked with a friend of mine and wanted to supply you guys with a version of vanitygen that has direct CGB support. Here is the github repo for the fork: https://github.com/lizzybot/vanitygen/Unfortunately no binaries right now, though it's in the works. Compile it like you normally would. Usage:The -C flag has been added for CGB. OCLVanitygen also works with this flag with the starting character of "5". There is a bit of an oddity right now though in that it is saying some prefixes are not valid even though based on base58 and the avoidance of ambiguous characters they should be valid. We're working on hunting this down as well. In the meantime, most prefixes seem to work. Like any other instance of vanitygen, once you generate the corresponding private key, use the console in the wallet app (or command line if you're using the daemon) to "importprivkey" to your wallet. Then you're good to go. ./oclvanitygen -i -C 5prefix (I pretty much always use -i for case insensitivity, though it's optional if you want a direct match for your prefix) Here's one I generated for the purposes of this exercise and added it to my CGB wallet: 5VANiTyhMuuk2CRQHRKC9epvUQUf97PcafAny questions, please feel free to ask. Also, if you think this should be its own post elsewhere, I'm happy to do that too; though I couldn't seem to find any CGB-specific forums.

Haha, ok, so next time maybe ask for a third party to proofread then before adding to website or paying for that matter Yes professional translations are expensive, I know that, but with the right people it should be possible to get good non-professonal translations for little money. Like here in this thread, where people are interested in helping cgb out
