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

[check_status]

A distributed Vanity Address generator might be faster, dividing work across all GPU's instead of one work per GPU. There are lots of distributed designs out there already, some open source but for CUDA, would need to convert CUDA language to OpenCL language. This would make it easier for those with large farms to utilize an address generator without it being a PITA to setup.

Hmm, the Vanitygen executable download link doesn't seem to work, can someone reupload it please?

[nimda]

Sure, I had the same problem earlier.

Hi , I want to start selling  or giving out free, simple vanitygen addresses, but of course I have the problem of private key (thrust).
I already read this msg but i don't understand anything of that.

Can anyone explain in a simple way (noob language) please?

Is there any mirrors for the windows binary? Original link seems to be dead.

If you'd prefer a non-throttled, non-ad-riddled, non-shit link which doesn't ask you to pay buckets of money for a "pro" account...

Newbies posting binaries and pushing people to download theirs and not others?
Brb, gonna run this shit while I still have some bitcoins in my wallet, they deserve them.

I merely have a hatred of sites which throttle and limit downloads

Hi , I want to start selling  or giving out free, simple vanitygen addresses, but of course I have the problem of private key (thrust).
I already read this msg but i don't understand anything of that.

I have posted about this subject many times.  It is very simple actually:

I generate a valid public/private key pair.
I give you the public key and keep the corresponding private key secret.
You run a modified vanitygen program that generates and finds vanity addresses.  The only modification needed is that it starts from my public key instead of the normal keypair generation point.  This should be a very easy modification to make.
Once you find the cool vanity address YOU will have a worthless private key, valid public key and a cool vanity address generated from this key pair.  The private key is worthless because it was generated from the wrong starting point on the eliptical curve (my public key).
However, if you give this "worthless" private key back to me I can use my secret private key and the private key you generated to calculate a perfectly valid and useful keypair that happens to hash to the cool vanity address.
This calculation of the final private key from the private key you send back to me and my private key is very simple.

There you go.  We just need someone to make the modification to vanitygen (and the GPU version of it) to take a public key as input to replace the standard starting point for all its key generation.  And someone to write the very simple script to take the two private keys and generate the final private key.

[BurtW]

Math for the above is:

MYpublic = MYprivate * G

YOURpublic = YOURprivate * MYpublic

FINALpublic = YOURpublic = YOURprivate * MYpublic = (YOURprivate * MYprivate) * G

FINALprivate = YOURprivate * MYprivate

BTW this is only one of two ways to do this.

The post #1 sendspace link http://www.sendspace.com/file/pjgrfj seems to be working

I think that is the part that matters.

Try using brew to 'brew install pcre' and then go again

Time to test this vanity thing out for once!

The name I want will take 500 years

The name I want will take 500 years

could take 500 years. It could take 30 seconds too.

Could take 10 000 years too.
You have 50% chance to find it within 500 years.
