- Creating a BLAST SegWit Address - (Segregated Witness)
Embedded p2sh
SegWit is active on BLAST!
This activated near the beginning but I wanted to test it a lot first before announcing.
Addresses that start with the letter 'B' is legacy BLAST
Addresses that start with the number '8' is a new SegWit BLAST address.
To create a SegWit address please do the following...
1. Create new legacy address
2. Open the Console
3. Help > Debug Window > Console tab
4. Type addwitnessaddress YOURADDRESSHERE
A new address that starts with 8 will be created. Sending BLAST to and from this new type of address will also appear on the block explorer. Try it out!

- Vanitygen PLUS - You can now use vanitygen to create addresses.
Please use the latest version. Vanitygen PLUS v1.53
Download here ==>
https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus/releasesGetting Started
Extract the files,
open a terminal/command prompt,
change to directory containing vanitygen-plus binaries.
Running On Linux: ./vanitygen -ARGS, or ./oclvanitygen -ARGS, ./keyconv -ARGS, etc
Running On Windows: vanitygen.exe -ARGS, oclvanitygen.exe -ARGS, keyconv.exe -ARGS, etc
For generating addresses using the CPU(slower) use: vanitygen !
For generating addresses using the GPU(faster) use: oclvanitygen !
NOTES:All arguments are case sensitive!
Address prefix must be at the end of the command.
oclvanitygen requires OpenCL and correct drivers.
Get a list of the supported Coins with:
Linux CPU: ./vanitygen -C LIST
Linux GPU: ./oclvanitygen -C LIST
Windows CPU: vanitygen.exe -C LIST
Windows GPU: oclvanitygen.exe -C LIST
A list of all the supported crypto coins will be output.
Choose your coin from the list noting the ARGUMENT needed for the coin located in the left hand column.
For BLAST it is simply BLAST.
Now lets generate a BLAST address with the prefix "BTEST":
Linux CPU: ./vanitygen -C BLAST -o results.txt -i -k BTEST
Linux GPU: ./oclvanitygen -C BLAST -o results.txt -i -k BTEST
Windows CPU: vanitygen.exe -C BLAST -o results.txt -i -k BTEST
Windows GPU: oclvanitygen.exe -C BLAST -o results.txt -i -k BTEST
-C BLAST : Chooses the BLAST coin
-o results.txt : saves the matches to results.txt
-i : case-Insensitive(do not add this flag to match exact case)
-k : keep going even after match is found(do not add this flag to stop after the first match)
BTEST : the address you are searching for(BLAST addresses start with "B")
