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

[Relaxo143]

I`m trying to run oclvanitygen with my GPU. It`s a RX480. I get this when I run it: https://imgur.com/a/LWDigth
My OS is Win10 64 bit. I use the following config: .\oclvanitygen.exe -D 0:0 -o results.txt 1test
Any ideas? I should add that this card worked with oclvanitygen before but I dont remember if I had different drivers back then.

I quite often get the following "out of resources" error when running oclvanitygen, sometimes after a few minutes and sometimes after several hours (nothing else is running at the time).  Is there a way to reduce the load on the GPU (similar how you can reduce the number of cores on the CPU version)?  Or anyone know how I might fix this?  What does "grid" do, btw?  Thanks

Is there a way to reduce the load on the GPU (similar how you can reduce the number of cores on the CPU version)?

If the "resources" that you're running out of is GPU memory, you can set the number of threads to use:

Code:

./oclvanitygen -t 32

When I test on my Nvidia GPU, it does use less memory, and the number of keys/s goes down. What's weird though, is that even my mouse lags when I run oclvanitygen with limited threads.
Either way, it may be worth trying.

Hi, I have problems to compile it on Ubuntu 18.04
I used make but there are several compiling errors.
I already installed those dependencies https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/wiki/Installation
_{On Ubuntu libpcre-dev is not availible so I used libpcre3-dev}

I had funds stolen from a 2011 address that I think was generated with vanity gen.
The address is 192SGgMXpzpjKyt4mnoNaAksvpA4y2HAKS and since the private key has been leaked I might as well post it here.

5JfsVwQKYbRDbjcyvX4j8p47Kmp8QUBw4mvxuxcV41sqKyKH5PK

Is there anybody that do analysis on the key or something? I am trying to figure out how it was compromised. Did my OS got hacked? My other funds where not stolen.
Did I  generate it with a compromised version of vanitygen that leaked the keys or generated weaks key on purpose?

Any help is appreciated.

I had funds stolen from a 2011 address that I think was generated with vanity gen.

This address has never received any Bitcoin, but it has received Forkcoin Bitcoin Cash in 2018.
It doesn't look like a vanity address. So you're saying you've created it in 2011, only to use it in 2018?

Is there anybody that do analysis on the key or something?

No, that's not possible.

I am trying to figure out how it was compromised. Did my OS got hacked? My other funds where not stolen.
Did I  generate it with a compromised version of vanitygen that leaked the keys or generated weaks key on purpose?

How did you store the private key during those 7 years?

Hi guys, My cards  works only oclvanityminer64 version , but 64 bit version has no -x option ,(looking help also dont show -x option), but oclvanityminer (32bit version) does have -x .., but wont recognize my vega cards 

I want to choose which name to work on the pool? but without -x it is impossible with oclvanityminer64 ? is that true ? or any other trick possible ?

Thanky

[Justice0881]

Generate a very long time and use it to create the bitcoin address you remember. Start eliminating all outside forces on your computer, you can end up also making it much harder for your computer to generate the random numbers used for private keys.

Whats up, I use Vanitygen frequently on new launches. I figure its easier and safer than compiling an unknown wallet. I just search github for pubkey_address, and usually in chainparams or base58 code files it tells you the address prefix to use as the "-X" flag in Vanitygen. I finally ran into an issue. I made 2 addresses for this coin https://github.com/Actinium-project/Actinium I searched for "Pubkey_address" as usual and found:

       base58Prefixes[PUBKEY_ADDRESS] = std::vector<unsigned char>(1,53);  //N
        base58Prefixes[SCRIPT_ADDRESS] = std::vector<unsigned char>(1,8);   //4
        base58Prefixes[SCRIPT_ADDRESS2] = std::vector<unsigned char>(1,80); //Z
        base58Prefixes[SECRET_KEY] =     std::vector<unsigned char>(1,73);  //W
        base58Prefixes[EXT_PUBLIC_KEY] = {0x04, 0x88, 0xB2, 0x1E};
        base58Prefixes[EXT_SECRET_KEY] = {0x04, 0x88, 0xAD, 0xE4};

So I run ./vanitygen -X 53 N based on the highlighted info found above and get my keypairs.

Well the wallet wont import them    "key format not recognized." Looks like Uncompressed WIF is meant to start with "3", compressed WIF with "B", vanitygen spits out a privkey starting with 7.

They have a walletgenerator.net fork where it lists the following info:

name, networkVersion, privateKeyPrefix, WIF_Start, CWIF_Start
"Actinium",            0x35, 0x49, "3",    "B"

anyways heres a tiny game.

theres 43,000 ACM coins there. they just launched but are trading on https://bitfex.trade/en/ACM/BTC for 375 satoshi. thats a $1000 bounty (if you dump into the buyside). So if theres any way to transform the priv created by vanitygen to what it needs to be to be used for this coin... id appreciate a rundown here so i can unlock the other wallet i generated. you can have the 43k coins.

Is it possible with this program do the following. I generate a random sequence of private keys and that the program would convert them to open addresses? For these addresses to be written to the file. For example, a file with private keys through the program on the output file with addresses and keys from them.

And where you can get acquainted with detailed descriptions of settings (variables) programs?

I'm not sure what exactly you're asking for. Vanitygen can output to a file:

Code:

Options:
-o <file>     Write pattern matches to <file>

If you want two different output files, one with addresses, and one with private keys, you'll have to script something by yourself.

And where you can get acquainted with detailed descriptions of settings (variables) programs?

Is this what you're looking for?

Code:

Vanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014)
Usage: ./vanitygen [-vqnrik1NT] [-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
-n            Simulate
-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
-1            Stop after first 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>

[Andzhig]

-X <version>  Generate address with the given version
-F <format>   Generate address with the given format (pubkey or script)
-s <file>     Seed random number generator from <file>
How it works with examples would be to see.



-f <file>     File containing list of patterns, one per line
              (Use "-" as the file name for stdin)

I created an address file vanitygen64.exe -o 123 -f aaa.txt that I need to add to the string to make it work?

[LoyceV]

I created an address file vanitygen64.exe -o 123 -f aaa.txt that I need to add to the string to make it work?

I'm still unsure what exactly you're trying to accomplish, but I think you want this:

Code:

vanitygen64.exe -o output.txt -f pattern.txt -k

My pattern.txt contains this:

Code:

1test
1There
1Loyce

When I run it, all results are shown in the console, and written to the file output.txt (don't use these private keys!):

Code:

Pattern: 1Loyce                                                                
Address: 1LoyceFtdDYd3WQRvJvQotZdYQqBz8Ah6j
Privkey: 5KYBEdFrFr79K8GuqtghW5GuAA2JTXb2U2tGCAH18EFwFdRRzvf
Pattern: 1test                                                                 
Address: 1testYBxFHaVkzhKWPtmyuv8Xydk7rpaj

Privkey: 5JyowwHeKAvf6CM1zcQbW61TPoFUU5RofSCfdJQxwsbFzrzMLaf

Is this what you were looking for?

I've only tested the Linux version:

Code:

./vanitygen -o output.txt -f pattern.txt -k

[Andzhig]

Is this what you were looking for? Yes, thx.

And how to 2 video cards run (oclvanitygen), tried -D 0:0 -D 1:0 dont work. The comma also does not work -D 0:0,1:0.

-D 1:1 in oclvanitygen Launches cpu.

[keelperu]

My pattern.txt contains this:

Code:

1naturefirst
1LionKing
1LionKingJungle
1Jumanji
1Robotworld
1android
1fishboat
1ant

my code

Code:

vanitygen.exe -k -f pattern.txt -o match.txt

I use windows system to run the program all are working good , but it not give a output match

if I give only 1ant pattern more output on the output file , i think its not find the match in the entire given file (all pattern in the file), it search only one pattern at a time , it search first or last pattern only in the list of given pattern file.

need any match in the given list of pattern to out , because my laptop generate 75Kk/s , if i give a 10 pattern  any match found on that 75 Kk/s generated address that gets out, so the time is reduce

Thank all

[LoyceV]

Several things are wrong with your approach:
1LionKingJungle is a duplicate of 1LionKing, if it searches for the first, it includes the longer version too.
1Robotworld isn't possible, you should replace the the "l" by an uppercase: "L".

At 75 kkeys/s, it's virtually impossible to find any of the longer addresses.
When testing how long it would take to find an address, you should omit "1ant". Without the short address you'll get a realistic estimate for the next match.

One more thing: play around with the case insentive switch, you'll have much more matches.

So if theres any way to transform the priv created by vanitygen to what it needs to be to be used for this coin... id appreciate a rundown here so i can unlock the other wallet i generated. you can have the 43k coins.

Looks like someone was able to claim the coins.

Tried the newer ACM wallet for my other coins and the privkey imported just fine, not sure what changes were made. anyways all good. enjoy the 43k coins whomever got them! trades at bitfex and tradeogre now for ~2k sats, thats like 0.8 btc worth of ACM you got if ya hodled.

Hi,

Actinium developer here.

We have changed the prefixes for private keys between versions. Simply install the latest version (0.16.1.0) and then start the Wallet-Application (or Daemon) with option -upgradewallet to upgrade to the latest wallet version.

Regarding vanity key generators, please take into account that some of them assume certain numerical distances between public & private keys (128 numbers).
 
This was not the case with Actinium in the beginning (and several other cryptocurrencies as well). Or more specifically: the variant of the wallet that preceded Actinium, which had a different name, wasn't following this pattern. But the new versions do follow it.

I have provided a Pull Request to one of such projects named vanitygen plus. The change was accepted by their team, so please check out their releases. They might have released a new version which supports Actinium by default. If not, then you'll have to clone & compile their code from GitHub. Check their compilation docs for more info on this.

Here their repo:

https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus

Here the pull request for Actinium:

https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus/pull/113

To generate an valid Actinium address you can now use these flags:

vanitygen -C ACM N

You won't need to provide numbers anymore as the app will automatically set them for you.

There are also additional flags, for compressed & uncompresses privkeys, scriptkey-hashes etc.

I hope this could help you solve the problems with Actinium's address generation. In general: the keys aren't lost, but only the parsing of underlying numbers that constitute them has changed.

For further support you can join our Discord (channel #support). Welcome!

Hi,

Actinium developer here.

Hey Brak thanks for the hard work! I was able to salvage half my mined coins the other half (in the privkey i posted above as a bounty) were snapped up by someone else. Hopefully they join and help the community take care!
