If you need only addresses, without private keys:

Code:

grep "Address" file_addresses.txt | awk '{ print $2 }'

You need only addresses or private keys too?
You need addresses in base58 or only as hexdecimal string?

[jhdscript]

i need private keys too. The soft supervanity is exactly was i looking for but for windows :-(

[arulbero]

I have a my own generator (for Linux) that produces private key + address but not in base58 format.

I have another program in Python too that produces private key + address, I should search it. I don't remember performance, but surely much more than 1500keys/s. Are you interested?

[jhdscript]

yes i m interested. I dont need base58, only compress pubkey and private key

[Thirdspace]

it's been awhile since last time I'm following this thread
as I look into the generated address/key pair, they are seem all uncompressed
with the increasing tx fee, the need of compressed address becomes common
is there a way to (turn on) search pattern on both uncompressed and compressed addresses
sound like a waste if only checking pattern on uncompressed address generated,
because there is also corresponding compressed address that can be checked at the same time

[melancoly]

It's important to note that searching for short addresses (<34 standard character address length) by utilising "1"*n patterns has a greater difficulty than other patterns of the same length.

I have found several hundred 31 length addresses and a few (2 or 3) 30 character addresses running my 7950 at work over a many-month long period of time.

Thanks for the trust.  

Anyway my program generates only "consecutive" keys. You provide:

1) the private key to start from
2) how many keys you want to compute

and it generates the corresponding addresses (hash of public keys, not base58 encoded). This is the output if you start from key = 1:

It is only up to the user to choose which keys to generate, not up to the program.

Besides I don't think that jhdscript needs to store a so huge amount of addresses to send some bitcoin there. Maybe it is only a statistical project.


@jhdscript

I made 2 tests (writing speed, Xeon CPU E3-1505 3 GHz + SSD, Ubuntu Mate 17.04)

1) supervanitygen:  about 220K keys / minute (8 threads,  that confirms that vanitygen-like program are not suited to your case)

2) my own generator: 75M keys / minute (-> 6,5GB file / minute) per 1 core. I got about 175 Mkeys / minute with 4 cores.

Unfortunately if I try to compile it for Windows the results I get are not correct anymore.  When I will have more time I will give it a look. For now I can't help you  (unless you decide to use Linux).
Honestly I can't figure out why you need to fill an hard disk so fast. It takes about 20 hours to fill 4TB.

...The more times you try, the more likely it becomes to roll a 6.

Dice have no memory. The chance to roll a 6 is the same at every throw. So it is NOT more likely to throw a 6 the more times you try.

Guys, I've asked about probability and time previously: 1, 2 and got the answer that "Dice have no memory."

Okay, but I still could not understand what does it mean on practice. And to illustrate my frustration here is the animated image (actually it is html+css).

So, I could search forever for my 1 exact 9-prefixed address?

you should read on math subject of probability and chance
in short, probability is theoritical calculation on possible outcomes while chance is based on luck factor
in this vanitygen case, your luck depends on random seed producing targeted pattern
thus the chance is the same everytime because you starting with random seed every time

If you're running searches for months, you may want to make a longer list of words to search for. By making a list with prefixes you may find more cool addresses in the same amount of time.

and I agree with what he said, add a few more patterns to make it worthwhile
so with multiple pattern search on single run you can get your other desired patterns at once
for example: 1Thirdspace 1Th3rdspace 1Thirdsp4ce 1Th3rdsp4ce 13rdspace
if you just do single pattern, you might missed the chance hitting the other patterns
I wish I have the power to do that kind of pattern
but I was a bit lucky with 1Third address (on profile) using only cpu power
I got it in around 10-12 hour while it says 50% in 1.1d at the beginning

btw can someone response to my question a few post earlier
anyhow to modify the code to also work/search on compressed addresses

There has been someone who made this changes, and posted it in this thread. You'll have to search a bit, this thread has too many pages to quickly find back the link.
I never used it, as I have a hard time trusting new programs that create private keys. You could at least use it to compare the source.

[mahdaoui imad]

Find the version of solidcoin addresses and use this

[adaseb]

Pretty sure people will start modding this software to optimize for the RX GPUs to try and solve those BTCs in the old 32BTC brute force private key contest.

Its almost reached the point, where brute forcing the private keys for the 0.54BTC address will yield more profit than mining ETH or ZEC.

[akamit]

I tried to generate a custom bitcoin address by following this tutorial > https://99bitcoins.com/how-to-get-a-custom-bitcoin-address/

But I am getting the following error (marked in RED),


so is it a normal procedure of cmd or vanitygen or it is a problem?

Kind help will be appreciated in this regard.

[LoyceV]

But I am getting the following error (marked in RED),

You can manually set the number of threads to use:

Code:

-t <threads>  Set number of worker threads (Default: number of CPUs)

If you have 4 cores, use -t 4. Or -t 3 if your computer gets too slow.

[Wall-ET]

I was wondering is it possible to use ASIC miners to mine custom address or does it only work with CPU?

[xhomerx10]

I was wondering is it possible to use ASIC miners to mine custom address or does it only work with CPU?

 No.  Address generation requires the use of RIPEMD-160 as well as SHA-256.

[adaseb]

Anyone here actually managed to get this to compile under Windows?

Seems every dependancy is outdatted and tons of warnings/errors.
