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) |

So, I am sure I can push it if I want. 48 billions addresses so far... no XCGretz address yet... grrrr |

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) yeah, of course it's fast... I generated my xchat adress this way, but when I imported this adres in my wallet and I asked my public key it gave me a public key witch was very long it was even you cryptogretzky who said it didn't work 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
Said Invalid destination public key |

the oclvanitygen works on a laptop with a intel HD graphic chip
If you have one, you could try and use that... it is speedwise times 30 faster (I thought) then a amd64 x4 640
