[Loco]

i think i downloaded de github that was posted, can you give me the link please?
(when i write "./oclvanitygen" i can see in the all the commands that apears the -1 , meaby it was written but not implemented )

Im not sure where i download it , how can i check the version? (Im very noob at linux as you can see )

 Well I'm using the windows binaries but in ver .22 I don't see the -1 optiong although the -k option (keep going) is there.  If I specify an output file and no other options, it terminates after one match.  In the version I use which I got here - http://lifeboat.com/ex/press.releases.bitcoins.hundred.thousand.dollars (link to vanitygen in the text) the -1 and the -k options exist and it you don't specify the -1 option it still stops after the first match. This is a windows binary as well.

Use <program name> --version to check version of any CLI program, here it is oclvanitygen --version.

Try to use Lifeboat's vanitygen - support compressed private keys : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=301068.0

quick question i cant find the answer in the post
is the command "-1" working?
whenever i found the privatekey, the terminal keeps looking for more and more...
i want to just recive the solution in the "-o" file i create, and the terminal to stop... or close in better case thanks

I don't know what option that would be. If you use the -k option (keep looking), it will keep looking.

Is this version of keyconv avaliable for windows anywhere?

Still haven't figured it out how to compile this for Windows, or where to download it already compiled... Can someone give a hand?

I've used cross compile to generate the Windows binaries from Ubuntu.
This seems to work for keyconv, I'm still struggling with vanitygen itself.
I've put the binary in my repo at github, but since github doesn't support single file download,
the whole repo needs to be downloaded as zip.

This version of keyconv has the -X switch to support multiple cryptocoins.
It also supports combining compressed WIF format keys.

Right click the file you want to download and then click 'Save link as...' and then save the link with its extension if it isn't already there - mostly it will show automatically, for eg:- keyconv.c for keyconv.

I think you meant Lifeboat's vanitygen. Try to download full zip or just do like I said above.

EPIC! Thank you, very handy already downloaded it, but I don't have access to my Windows machine right now, so I'll report back later about it

anybody know a way to load a huge wordlist into vanitygen and still use the -i function? currently the max i can do while using -i is around 4000 but i want to be able to do a lot more than that

I checked the Lifeboat's download, but that one does not contain the keyconv utility.
I therefor mean my own version of keyconv . @ https://github.com/kangaderoo/vanitygen

Testing keyconv... everything goes good until I try to generate the final address with the privkey+part privkey... it just says unrecognized key format. Any workarounds?

The way it's setup is that it only combines WIF key's.
Not the ECSDA private key's.

Ok, thank you, I think I've got it working! Awesome job, very handy tool

The case-insensitive option unrolls the word into every possibility, so a word like

1siik

would become

1siik
1Siik
1siiK
1SiiK

A normal four-letter (without special characters like "i" which don't have an uppercase in Base58) would become sixteen possibilities; a six-letter would become 64 possibilities. If you have 512 eight-character words, it is actually a list of 128k words after all permutations, which becomes 1 megabyte.

The final list is also pre-processed to remove redundant matches (like your list has 1siik and 1siikfo) and invalid/too long strings. CPU vanitygen uses 2GB on my system while just processing a huge list of 8-14 character words, and dies about line 82K before it even starts generating, probably from running out of 32-bit process memory.

Even if you were to compile in 64 bit, you will likely hit GPU RAM limits, if that's not already your limiting factor.

 Working in mine.  Can you paste your command line so I can see how you are doing it?

 Wait, I'm using oclVanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013)

Seems in the version oclVanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012)

the -1 option is not implemented.

so i have to update my openSSL? i downloaded from here the vanity, because is in the post, so im think i have 0.22 version
i cant see the version.
who i update my openssl? is there a comand for that? sorry i ask to many questions but i really need the -1 option

edit: i checked i have the 1.0.1f version.
im using this comand line:  "env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./sdklib ./oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -1 1Nasty"   any mistake there?

 run vanitygen with just the -h option and nothing else.  It will give you the version information first followed by a list of valid options.  If the -1 option is not there, you wont be able to use it.

 I just ran the lifeboat version with the command-line "oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -1 1Nasty" and I got this -

Pattern: 1Nasty
Address: 1NastyC4VZLhJnFW2oQy1ck2kkNYDNZ1N4
Privkey: 5J79D1XgDc1meLoGhCCPAFSsBfHAw1ycTba7nL75pJDVrCw12Kz

in about 30 seconds and the program terminated normally afterward.

I've never came across this before, Need to create myself an address!

[noobtrader]

Hi,
This is great address generator, can anyone confirm that this wallet address generator is secure ?

EDIT: expecially the windows edition

thanks

 It is very secure.  If your computer is not secure however, then the addresses you generate will not be secure.
Also, if you export the private keys to an online wallet, you are potentially compromising the security of those addresses.
So the program is fine but the security issues arise when dealing with the key pairs you generate.
