I don't think Vanitygen can switch the prefix for private keys. It can only do so for public keys i.e address. To create an address starting with 8, try -X 18, but it will likely not be valid for importing.

You are right.
I generated address (vanitygen -X 18 8Frga) but when I tryed to import private key in qt it said Invalid private key...

How to export private key from bytecoin-qt wallet?
Is there a vanity gen for bytecoins? or/and online wallet?

You shouldn't need a vanitygen for bytecoin, just use vanitygen.

and then what? just replace 1 for 8?  Cool

EDIT: If anyone interested
You can't create vanity address for Bytecoin with Vanitygen (at least for now)
There is no online wallet for Bytecoin (at least for now)

If you want to export private key from wallet (bytecoin-qt) use command:
dumpprivkey yourBTEaddress

If your wallet is encrypted then you must use:
walletpassphrase
