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

[cheesylard]

Thanks for the OSX makefile.

[scintill]

Mr. salfter and Mr. scintill, if you upload your windows binary, and sign it (or SHA256sum it), I will download it. I'll also be sure to scan it (or run it sandboxed.)

I've only got the Linux binaries I built for testing, which is a good point I should have said earlier: I've only tested on Linux.  It should work on Windows though.  I'll see if I can build for Windows, but it may take awhile.

Very much appreciated by all the windows noobs like me. I will wait patiently for it. I've been wanting to get a new compressed vanity address.

Please provide some tip-jar / bitcoin-address (e.g. in your forum signature) for people who appreciate your effort .

I'm getting 61 keys/s, will my 7 letter prefix take long with such an amount of keys/second?

Yes, it could take years if you are only getting 61 keys per second. The average time is shown in the output.

...[Prob 0.0%][50% in 5.6y]

Ah. I guess I'll go to a paid service then =P.

I host a paid service. Cheapest vanity addresses that I've seen. And very secure

Seems cheap indeed! How quick is delivery? Also, how do I import this privatekey, and I can receive BTC with my vanity address like a normal address, right? And can I import it into my client? Also, do I have to put an 1 infront at the checkout? And would this add to the price? i.e, I want 7 characters, but would the 1 be an 8th? Thanks!

I never got oclvanitygen to work on my GPU (only CPU which gets 750kkeys/s) so I read here that I should downgrade to AMD Catalyst 12.8.
So I did that, but still oclvanitygen does not work on my GPU:

Well, that's exactly what I did. Use the official driver remove tool. Restart. Install CCC 12.8 with its old driver. Restart. Run oclvanitygen: same error as with 13.1

[dirtysocks]

can someone compile it for windows xp ?

friendly greetings

If you already have Cygwin, all you need is vanitygen.exe.  If you don't, unpack everything to the empty directory of your choice.  I've tested this package on a clean WinXP SP3 VM that didn't have Cygwin installed on it already, so it should work anywhere.

[dirtysocks]

thank yoU

[kodo]

This is great!!! TY!

[Dabs]

Verified working. I ran it in my sandboxed machine. Verified Hashes. Not yet verified PGP signature, but I'm sure someone else can verify it. (I'll do it later if no one does.)

I ran it to make my first compressed public vanity key.

Pattern: 1Dabs
Address: 1DabsXmraEr18jdEryck8jzcFku873xmRf
Privkey: K*****

I am now going to change my default BTC address in signature... later or something.

[Dabs]

For Windows XP version with compressed keys support.

Mr. salfter,

Where is your key that you used to sign this? I went to your website and this is the key I found:

Key-ID: 586535F7
Fingerprint: 605237D2007C0B2F6C12D171DFF771D8586535F7

[hahahafr]

I have a question, is the entropy source in Vanitygen reliable enough to use it as a simple Bitcoin address generator? Like just specify the pattern "1", the combination it then outputs, is it secure and not vulnerable?

its based on OpenSSL's, so yes it should be fine.

Hmm...I need to fix that. :-| Look next to this post for the key I'm using now (begins with 9, not 5). You should be able to pull it from any keyserver.

Edited after posting: The correct key ID is 92C7689C.

Edited again: my website is fixed.  My current key is now at http://alfter.us/files/salfter.asc.

[SinnerShanky]

I'm not very familiar with C but I was going through the source code. I wanted to know where the address is generated.
Like, suppose I run vanitygen and it finds an address I want, I wanna know the line that prints the address and its private key on the console.
Thank you
