Hello, I'm not very skilled in-depth about a program.

How do wedetect or identify that the application is safe?, Because this is a quite sensitive and high-risk.

If I'm download version 1.14 and last version 1.19. does we only can't able access about new feature right?

Does update also talking about being safety?

You don't need the extracted files, just paste the vanitysearch.exe to any folder of your choice and follow the instructions in the first post/first page post 1.
Yes, I mean to copying file "vanitysearch.exe" to folder. sadly not working for me, https://prnt.sc/10vsgk4
What do you mean "not working"? It's in there the one you marked, if you're looking for the '.exe' extension, it's not displayed by default.
You can display known extensions by changing Windows Explorer's settings: Click "View" and put a check in "File name extensions".

By the way, you can delete all of the other files except vanitysearch.exe, you don't need them unless you're planning to compile it yourself.

I see, you've downloaded the source code and extracted it, not the .exe
What you need to download is the executable file from the releases, name: VanitySearch.exe, link in the OP step 1.

How about notice command come? " is not recognized as an internal or external command, "
You got that error because the command entered isn't available, in your case, you're trying to run vanitysearch while there's no such executable in the directory used by the command prompt.
You should start command prompt where vanitysearch.exe is located or specify the path by following step 4 in the OP.

To be sure what caused the error, what is the exact command that you've entered?
Yes It's quite confused, that's why I'm search on inside folder.
There no such applications type for executed https://prnt.sc/10vqbjv

Which wallet are you using, and what type of address (Legacy "1", Nested SegWit "3", or "Native SegWit "bc1") are you trying to import?

Some wallets will accept a private key in hexadecimal, but most will want you to convert it to Wallet Import Format (WIF) first. You can do this using https://www.bitaddress.org/.

You should scroll to the bottom of the page and download the page as a zip, and then run it offline, preferably on a permanently offline computer. Under the "Wallet Details" tab, enter your private key in hexadecimal and click "View Details", and it will convert your key to WIF (near the bottom left, 51 characters starting with "5"). You should then be able to import this to the wallet of your choice.

Is the key above can only be imported into the Electrum wallet?
The above key can be imported in to pretty much any wallet, but it will not necessarily give you your vanity address. On blockchain.com you can import keys by clicking on "Settings" in the top right, then "Wallets & Addresses", and then "Import Bitcoin Address".

The same private key is associated with multiple addresses. We can derive a legacy/p2pkh address (starting with a "1"), a nested segwit/p2wpkh-p2sh address (starting with a "3", as in your case), and a native segwit/bech32/p2wpkh address (starting with "bc1"), all from the same private key.

Blockchain.com, as far as I am aware, only supports legacy addresses, so if you import your private key, you will end up with an address which begins with "1" and doesn't look anything like your desired vanity address. You could import the address itself rather than the private key, but then it would be watch only and you wouldn't actually be able to spend the funds.

You have two options here. Either generate a legacy vanity address beginning with a "1" rather than a "3", or use a wallet such as Electrum.

hmph..
It can be imported using trezor, bitcoin core, am not really sure about blockchain.com, if you can't import this kind of address, i think they are still not supported p2wpkh-p2sh.

Obviously you should never ever use that particular private key since you have just shared it online. Generate a new vanity address before importing.
Yes I know, I will not use that address because it is just an example, I am confused about how to import it into the Blockchain wallet.  Is the key above can only be imported into the Electrum wallet?

An additional post, because your question already answered by o_e_l_e_o, if you want to import, you need to copy all including p2wpkh-p2sh:





Sorry to reuse your example address

Your private key is right there in the text file you have shared a screenshot of.

"Priv (WIF)" is your private key in wallet import format.
"Priv (HEX)" is your private key in hexadecimal format.

Most wallets would accept the private key in WIF. The "p2wpkh-p2sh" (pay to witness public key hash - pay to script hash) bit at the start tells your wallet what kind of address it is (nested segwit). The rest of that line (from L537... to ...TtMG) is your actual private key.



Obviously you should never ever use that particular private key since you have just shared it online. Generate a new vanity address before importing.

I have made it following the tutorial above, but I'm still confused because I can't find the Private Key for the address that I created. then where can I find my private key?
does anyone want to tell me.

Has anybody tried VanitySearch 1.15 , I kept getting access denied when trying to create a Vanity Address after using this code >> E:\Vanity>vanitysearch.exe -stop -o save.txt 3XXX <<< even after running CMD as an administrator  Huh

FYI reverting back to Version 1.14 seems to run without a problem  Roll Eyes,Am I doing something wrong or version 1.15 is bugged?
This is presumably because you don't have permission from Windows to access the files for version 1.15, or the files are not present or corrupted at the address you have entered. I would first delete the program and reinstall it from scratch. Make sure your input in command prompt matches the directory where you have installed it.

If it's still not working, then right click on the "Vanity" folder, hit "Properties" then "Security". Make sure your user account has Read & Execute permissions. You could also try hitting "Advanced", and changing the owner to your own account, making sure to check the box marked "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects".

I guess the old saying of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is what am looking at atm.
I have no problems with that code

Did you download the vanitysearch from JeanLuc github?

I use code:
Code:
[disk/folder]vanitysearch.exe -stop -o pandu.txt 3PAND
