VanitySearch (Yet another address prefix finder)

Simply said, the version you're referring to is broken and not working correctly. This is an unofficial version where NotATether tried to implement regex funcationality but it does not work as expected, there are lots of bugs. I do not recommend to use and rely on it. Your mileage may vary. Good luck though

It's from "https://github.com/JeanLucPons/VanitySearch/releases", I thought that this is the official version but if it's not, where can I get the official version?

Don't use that version, it's been unmaintained for a couple of years

You obviously confusing two different programs. The original one is from JLP and this version does not support RegEx. This genuine applications works fine ! but it does not support RegEx

The other version was a fork from NotATether where he tried to implement RegEx funcationality. It does not work correctly and you should avoid using it. Just my coins

That link is the official version.
The command provided by NotATether will only work in his experimental build.

When I try to run "c:\Users\Main\VanitySearch.exe -t 8 '^1[fF][iI].{2,4}[sS][hH]'" in Windows, it says "Ignoring prefix " -t 8 '^1[fF][iI].{2,4}[sS][hH]'" (must start with 1 or 3 or bc1q)", does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

For the official version, just start it with your preferred args followed by your address prefix.
e.g.: VanitySearch.exe -stop bc1qsegwt
use: VanitySearch.exe -h to see all the available options.

ok, now it makes sense, thank you guys for clarifying that for me, appreciate it 👍

Interesting: Just ran some tests to generate my new non-legacy donation address seen in my sig.
EDIT: Having issues importing the new Bech32 address into Blockchain.com so reverted back to original Legacy tips address

Tested times using Legacy (1), Segwit (3) and Bech32 (btc1q) prefixes and was astounded at the reported times to generate it. For all of them the same 9 characters (FuzzyWarm) were added to the prefix.

Hardware is my ThinkPad P15 workstation laptop using Vanity Search1.19
CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, reports 57% usage
16GB ram
GPU is nVidia Quadro T1000 (14x64 cores), reports 80% usage
All runs are using GPU and 6 of the 12 core threads.

Speeds:
   Legacy speed:  [541.45 Mkey/s][GPU 516.45 Mkey/s][Total 2^34.46][Prob 0.0%][50% in 44.5d][Found 0]
   Segwit speed:  [288.25 Mkey/s][GPU 271.25 Mkey/s][Total 2^31.43][Prob 0.0%][50% in 83.6d][Found 0]
   Bech32 speed: [545.76 Mkey/s][GPU 515.95 Mkey/s][Total 2^32.36][Prob 0.0%][50% in 12:24:35][Found 0]

Summary of initial reported times:
    Legacy 44.5 DAYS
    Segwit 83.6 DAYS
    Bech32 12.5 hrs

Bech32 is the clear winner for speed and was the only one allowed to run to completion & generate my new address, run time was 17hrs 42min.

Question for OP: Why are Legacy and Segwit search times so astonishingly long vs Bech32 search time?

Why are Legacy and Segwit search times so astonishingly long vs Bech32 search time?

Bech32 addresses aren't case sensitive. Or better: they're only lower-case, so there are less possibilities per position.

idk who is author but there's vanitygen which supports regex and is included say to archlinux via aur .

Hey guys

Please provide feedback on any vulnerabilities for https://github.com/raritycheck/BTCMiniKeyGenerator
We want to use this to create BTC mini private keys for our various projects.

Can vanitygen or vanitysearch create mini keys, please? (We dont need vanity addresses just want 30 char min keys)
