Funk,
I have tried everything to create a vanity address using vanitygen with namespace 73 (W). For some reason, the resulting private key is not actually the address that Woodcoin imports. What's up with that?
(Am I using the wrong namespace)?
Which version of vanitygen are you using? I'm not sure I follow.
Thanks for reminding me bitillionaire, I never finished modding the vanitygen in my github repo. Remember woodcoin uses a different elliptic curve than all other coins (that I know of) so the algo which goes from privkey -> pubkey is different (as well as the usual first character modification). If you want to play around with keys, use logaddress.org (working) (wallet details) and see what different privkeys get you.
After some travels I am now back on the scene like a record machine (sayin' ooh-papa-doo, how y'all do), so hopefully I can get you a working LOG vanitygen in the next few days. Please let me know if anyone has one working in the meantime.
Ah, well that would explain it.
I had the same result on all three versions I could track down.
Which lines need to be modified to account for the new elliptic curve? I didn't realize that this would extend to the way addresses are generated, but it makes sense in hindsight.
We have a working woodcoin vanitygen you can use at:
http://github.com/funkshelper/vanitygenThe README:
This version of vanitygen was forked from Samr7's lovely C code,
by funkenstein the dwarf, to make vanity addresses for Woodcoin.
DO NOT USE THIS FORK TO CREATE BITCOIN ADDRESSES ON MAINNET BITCOIN
DO NOT USE THIS FORK TO CREATE ANYTHING BUT WOODCOIN ADDRESSES
Please for the love of the Ents only use the "-W" flag with this software!!!
The elliptic curve has been globally changed from secp256k1 to prime256v1,
so we are ONLY going to produce valid woodcoin addresses with this code. Keypairs and addresses
for other namespaces will not work on their respective networks.
