Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22]

[kjj]

This tool is really usefull to batch create password potected and/or generate trustable vanity keys for others.
I do not really see your point.
Just call keyconv-command with the protkey as argument and you'll be asked for the password.
so e.g.

Code:

./keyconv PsvoctFZMEVEfASHPJ2sWAr6RFgEPz55hUPNEXMz4ZjSri28iNpmFUCQgYLBLs5Jh912

gives me the private key when answered with the correct password.
Why would you like to have PKCS#8 formed keys?
For making a protected key out of a normal one use -e (lower case) option, as discribed in the "help" (or line 31 of the code).

No I am trying to figure out how to take a protkey and convert it into a private key.

Ok, what would be the string to type in to return a ltc vanity? Is there one?

use -X with the apropriate verison (given in hex)

Just make sure pattern is valid

How did you come up with that number 48? I need to know so I can generate addresses for other alt coins. What is the 48 in reference to? I attempted those flags on Windows and it didn't work.

OK. So i attempted using the -X 48 flag and for the prefix I did Light and it just showed the help list of the tags. I'm using oclvanitygen. It isn't working.

Is there a way to specify for it to generate a short address, perhaps as short as 27 characters? The limit for the length is anywhere from 27 to 34. 34 by far the most common.

I have yet to see a Bitcoin address under 34 characters. I don't think it is possible at all.

The one in my sig is 33. . It likely becomes exceedingly more and more rare, the shorter it is.

What flavor of RegEx does vanitygen use? It doesn't seem to support PCRE-style anchors.

It works, u just entered either invalid pattern or in the wrong sequence, so sad as if i helped u you would probably use it for your site, and no one will use my service at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202826.0 to let me earn small income

What would be the regex to generate an only numbers address? And about how long would that take? Or is that even possible?

Alphabetically "Light" is past the range of possible lightcoin (network 48) addresses. Valid addresses are generally in the range: LKDxGDJ-LiZZFKc7

You could search case insensitive, since "LiGHT" is still valid.

Code:

D:\Bitcoin\vanitygen-0.22-win>vanitygen -X48 -i Lightco
Difficulty: 1138380
Pattern: Lightco
Address: LiGHTcoirUn9XjtBqZWGyTf4o91RGerLZQ

I use flags

Code:

vanitygen -i-X48 Light
pause

But I just see this:

Code:

C:\DIRECTORY>vanitygen -i-X48 Light
Vanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012)
Usage: vanitygen [-vqrikNT] [-t <threads>] [-f <filename>|-] [<pattern>...]
Generates a bitcoin receiving address matching <pattern>, and outputs the
address and associated private key.  The private key may be stored in a safe
location or imported into a bitcoin client to spend any balance received on
the address.
By default, <pattern> is interpreted as an exact prefix.

Options:
-v            Verbose output
-q            Quiet output
-r            Use regular expression match instead of prefix
              (Feasibility of expression is not checked)
-i            Case-insensitive prefix search
-k            Keep pattern and continue search after finding a match
-N            Generate namecoin address
-T            Generate bitcoin testnet address
-X <version>  Generate address with the given version
-F <format>   Generate address with the given format (pubkey or script)
-P <pubkey>   Specify base public key for piecewise key generation
-e            Encrypt private keys, prompt for password
-E <password> Encrypt private keys with <password> (UNSAFE)
-t <threads>  Set number of worker threads (Default: number of CPUs)
-f <file>     File containing list of patterns, one per line
              (Use "-" as the file name for stdin)
-o <file>     Write pattern matches to <file>
-s <file>     Seed random number generator from <file>

C:\DIRECTORY>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Can someone explain the issue?

EDIT: Problem resolved. Space was missing between -i and -X48

[bitpop]

Maybe add a space

To start generating addresses with specific prefixes, while running on Windows, open up a command prompt, drag the VanityGen.exe into the command prompt, then type 1PREF1XyouWANT after it, then hit enter.

For example, type something like this into the CMD:
C:\Users\You\Desktop\VanityGen\vanitygen64.exe 1First 1Second 1Third 1Fourth

I wish this was explained somewhere, so that more know what they're doing. .

Ya that would be getting the ocl version to work is the hard part.

And it just goes on forever and ever. but if i do it with the cpu version it work for perfect in no time. i read through form and have not noticed any thing posted about this.

I'm using Ubuntu and vanitygen on CPU works just fine. I've tried to use GPU but got the error:
