On another note, I found a XC address that began with xchat!  XCHaTxgu3cMtwokhSh2gsBBN5wUT77F6EK Took over a million searches.... How?!  Did you generate the addresses while result | egrep -i '^xchat'? I modded the BIP38 paper wallet generator that Laredo created to find match based on some "vanity starting" parameters and it looped till it found it. It's really a rough hack job with no UI update for now.... I have to break into it to find out how many attempt it was at. My requirement was that it had to be BIP38, but of course... I really didn't have to really do that now since I know how to encrypt an existing private key using BIP38 now.... So, even a normal address creation would have sufficed.... You know there is a vanity gen creator that works even better. This was made for Darkcoin but seeing how both use the same address format, it should work. https://github.com/propulsions/DarkVanityGen |

This was made for Darkcoin but seeing how both use the same address format, it should work. https://github.com/propulsions/DarkVanityGenDarkcoin prefix is 0xCC while XC is 0xCB. Network version is 0x4C for DRK and 0x4B for XC. Where can I change this prefix in the DarkVanityGen source? Edit: I think I found it. I need to change the addrtype and privtype in oclvanitygen.c right? I added this to the beginning of that parameter processing: while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv,
"vqik1xNTXC:eE:p:P:d:w:t:g:b:VSh?f:o:s:D:")) != -1) {
switch (opt) {
case 'C':
addrtype=75;
privtype=205;
break;
Let's see if it will work.... |

I've tried with the original vanitygen a while ago, but it screwed up the public key (it was way to long) and it didn't work with xchat I would like to test something...
I made myself a vanity adress for xchat
would someone please try to contact me over xchat?
adress: XCHATsLztdvJxb2BkrgVuoq7uoC73u6ghj
pubkey: Ro4rYufnJy7RYFnuJBaD1iz5Rrr8o77fyKbcnkAbqC57JCS148WVMabshBjHd1JsZGoJ2JZtj6LYtfP e8bavoY51
(I've noticed that my pub key is really long, that's why I want to test this)
If it works I'll explain it in a tutorial
If you got it working, defenitly let me now  |

in the original vanitygen you have an option parameter it is started like "vanitygen64.exe -X 75 XCHAT" (75 is the decimal of the hexadecimal 4b) Vanitygen 0.20 (OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012)
Usage: vanitygen64 [-vqrikNT] [-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
-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
-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>
C:\vanitygen> |

Hey... there is the option -P
what would that give?
edit: ... nothing... invalid base public key...

Think you need to pass the 75 to -X instead of -P. Can you also pass in the prefix? Cause the prefix also needs to be changed to 0xCB. Did you compile vanitygen yourself or a precompiled version? |

Pain in the butt. Getting errors and stuff. Will read through the vanitygen thread to see which library people are using now since I don't have vs2010 installed as they had originally. |

I've used the vanitygen many times with other coins...
but this time it conflicts with the public key...
I guess we could use cryptogretsky's way with the paper wallet gen.

Is there any way to generate the public key in hex format from the bitcoin address alone?
going off to my work now... |

Actually.... This works... vanitygen -X 75 XChat and it's blazing fast even without using the opencl version since it doesn't work for me (R9 290) |

You should look for one that say XCTeka.... I am looking for one that is XCGretz... now Also... use -t to increase the # of workers to make it go faster. |
