That is 10gic's Vanitygen-plusplus right?
Tip for that fork: For real-world usage, use -F compressed for it to generate compressed WIF private key format,
the uncompressed form (although valid) is already deprecated and will produce quite higher transaction input size than the former.

Yes, it's 10gic's forked version, since the original repo isn't maintained anymore, i used this instead. Thanks for the tip, I'll remember to use it when I run vanitygen++ again

. I am still exploring new options.....

SegFault" is so generic that you'll never know the cause without looking at logs, code and OS to pinpoint the cause.
It's better to report it to its GitHub repository as a new issue.

I googled it a bit to understand what this error was. Looks like it's related to the OS not the program, not sure! Anyway, I'll report it, when i get the time.

It's not supposed to end in a segfault.

It was my first time using it, so I'm not familiar with the errors and stuff. Will you kindly tell me what went wrong or the cause of this? Cry

I can't tell you that. It's supposed to end gracefully, not in a segfault. What happens if you set it to continue searching after it finds a match?

When I set it to continue searching, it searches infinitely, after finding a match! And when I set a certain limit, like 10 addresses, it stops after finding 10 addresses. But this time no segmentation fault was seen.

If you like, you can post your customized vanity address here (but please without private key if you are planning to use it).

I followed your guide 1miau, and it worked like a charm! Pretty fun actually! Wink

Here is what I was able to generate:

Pattern: 1BTT (Bitcointalk)
My Vanity Address: 1BTT6np65sADJiFWkpzKUQaJ2eBWQRGSwG
Privkey: 5K7ePA1utX6coN77WPfrCBmqTgHxcx4XHwnVZ2qRMbwKVv6jhqq (I don't plan to use this address)

Dear 1miau,

There has been a misunderstanding here.

Ok here is the guide:

Ok, now send some BTC to that address to demonstrate how to burn BTC.

Prefix 1miau*HitLer

How about digaran*HitLer, since you are the one who has supported the far-right trolls and their enablers?
Or maybe your lack of knowledge about German history is the much bigger problem here?
Oh, I forgot, you are a troll

Quote from: digaran on January 08, 2024, 08:00:49 PM

So that's called wild card "*", however I haven't seen any tool that can find chars other than prefix and suffix. The checksum can't be randomly manipulated, it would require so much computation power. But what we have right now is prefix and suffix as demonstrated above. Hope it's useful. 😉

Try to get a cookie tonight (it's at least something since you are not eligible anymore to receive a weekly reward for your troll bullshit). Cheesy

that's enough troll spam in my topic Wink

Ok here is the guide:
Prefix 1miau*HitLer

Code:

1miauxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHitLerKJYjJK

Or 1miauis*HitLer, which would result in the following address:

Code:

1miauisxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHitLerNncRJa

Or 1TAGperweek*Doctorsorders, which would result in:

Code:

1TAGperweekxxxxxxDoctorsordersPQ1tZK

Hello, dear Chilwell

Many thanks for providing a translation here, it's a very technical topic but I believe it can be interesting at least to know about the existence of such customized "vanity addresses".
I've added your translation to my list:

Your guide is not complete 1meow, there are options to also generate vanity checksum for the address, it would be the last 6 characters of the address, you could also select any char position, something like second char to be hand picked, 5th char, 11th char etc, you could also set prefix and a few chars of checksum for the search.

There are various options for everything. If you want to start doing something useful, feel free to create an additional guide about it.

Wait wait, there is still something wrong there. I can't download windows executable files from that URL. Somehow, I found a valid url on Bitcoin wiki and changed version from 0.20 to 0.22 (the latest one I assume) - https://github.com/downloads/samr7/vanitygen/vanitygen-0.21-win.zip

Yeah, I've added the right link for download accordingly.

Otherwise, every step works correctly, tried and generated wallet successfully. Danke sehr

Nice to hear, I hope you found some nice vanity addresses.

I've tried it as well, I don't get such an error but doesn't work for me as well because it depends on your device. Maybe that's a good question for the original topic and someon can help you for your question.
The original topic is in Development and Technical Discussion, so someone probably has a valid answer.
