Vanity Address Bounty 0.1 BTC

[gravitate]

I want to know how to generate vanity addresses on my Macbook pro. I have read the guides and they make no sense. I need someone to tell me theough msn/ skype chat and I will reward with 0.1 BTC. Thank you!

Hey man. I don't have msn but could tell you through PM here!

Do you have bootcamp or something that allows you to run windows on your Mac?

[gravitate]

no unfortunately not!

[MRKLYE]

Unfortunately I don't think a Mac version of vanitygen has been released!

I could get you up and running on windows. Or generate a 4 character vanity key for you free of charge.

I know this address but I do not 100% trust it who knows if they log your priv key

[jackjack]

You can use your own partial private keys
It's 100% secure

Create your own private key, calculate the corresponding public key, then put that public key in the "Your-Part-Public-Key:" form
You'll see that "Your-Part-Private-Key:" will disappear

Just for info: Stay away from Bitvanity's precompiled binary.
It's backdoored and some people have lost their bitcoins.

there's no binary in the git repo .. => wont work ... you need to install build-essentials and compile the sources

I just needed to make a tiny tweak to the Makefile in the vanilla vanitygen to make it work on my mac. It assumed certain libraries were in standard locations, but if you install software with MacPorts you need to tell it where to look for those libraries. If you use homebrew, you'll have to tweak it for that. Never used it so not sure where that installs to.

Code:

$ git diff Makefile
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
