Hello!

Nice translation to Indonesian and great that you have created a personal address.

To post signed addresses you can do it here in English, I think normally the Mods prefer signed messages in English to restore accounts.

I've quoted and verified it. But better post it again here.

Do we have a procedure for Linux users? or this is only possible for those who have only Windows OS?
Otherwise great effort you put up there to simplify the whole process. I could make one if I get to use windows soon.

Another user (o_solo_miner) is working out a complete version for Linux, I think he is still busy but when he is ready he will publish it.

Try this:

1. Clone the repo:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen.git

2. Go to its folder and compile it:

Code:

cd vanitygen
make all

3. Run it!

Code:

.\vanitygen

WARNING
User Velkro is a scammer!
Velkro's post (2 posts above this one) promotes his scamsite in his signature. I think it's a big mistake not to show trust on this board, that's why he loves posting in threads like this one, hoping to steal more Bitcoins from naive users.
Check his red trust for Reference links to at least several Bitcoins worth of theft.

NEVER trust a private key created by someone else!

Thanks for your warning, I completely agree with you.

Another reason to show trust to people from outside of the forum (not logged in) and when they click on your reference link show them all trust ratings. Therefore, here are the reference links:

Oh look, a guide that's actually good and different, not like the typical "how to earn merit" and "how to make quality post" topic. Way to go OP. +1

Maybe you have seen a Bitcoin address where the first letters are a word, similar like this:
1fudCz15sHGR8L2YQnaG4JVMjMQpaDo37
1BTCTUnYLskK7N9nXb17wf6oVYMYrX5WHG
1DogemNVw8AZnMf3cB4L1wijGnr9DVKzia
1Fomo7V86nWrjdv6JzU7yavtp5hfzZWsZr

Good option for beign sure vanity address is secure. It demands a lot of work and some knowledge even going step by step with your guide.
There are always people that are not so technically gifted and they need easy alternatives (there are many).
Its compromise between security and ease of use.

Great job tho, very detailed guide.

Get Some!

Just for info: vanitygen generate uncompressed public key (65 bytes long, transactions size will be a bit larger).

I saw such unique addresses, but did not know how to generate them. Yet I understood, decided to translate your theme to Russian language thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49216753

I'll try to run vanitygen next weekend on my mining rig. I think I'll need to monitor the equipment if you say the generator needs more performance.

Thank you for your efforts.

Do you know which ones and why? I'll add it also to my OP.

I can't reproduce the details of "why", but you can quite easily test it: just take a prefix and change the first character.
Adding more "ones" (1111111) makes it much harder to find too.

Ok, nice to know, also added to my OP. And I've added some real addresses.

Quote from: ?? on ??

I read the OP, and will read it again carefully to comprehensively catch your ideas.
By now, I am curious that whether the approach will create higher secured address than others created in Blockchain.info's BTC wallets or not.
Would you mind clarifying a little bit more about the most advantages of vanity address, please.

The split-key process and the guide to turn off Internet connection before creating vanity address, spliting keys are valuable one.

Security of your vanity address depends on how you create it. If you create it while your internet connection is active it might be insecure and I don't recommend it. Like LoyceV said, security is very important and it also depends on how much BTC you want to send to it.
If you import it in Electrum, it won't be safer than Electrum anyways...

Creating vanity addresses is normally not the first reason of getting an address, which is much safer than others. It's more a reason that you create an unique address and can use it for example for small payments. However, it's still possible to create very secure addresses with vanitygen but in my opinion the main reason vanity generators were developed for the ability to genereate customized addresses and add a prefix.

No seriously, some btc were sent from that address to Satoshi's genesis address on the 10th anniversary.
It is not a burn address.

He has not sent anything. This address receives some Bitcoins. One address send bitcoins to 1HappyTenthBirthdayBitcoinxvYeM9e and to the genesis 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa on the same day.

Other fun address that has send some tip to the genesis:

How much time does it take to generate such address:
1HappyTenthBirthdayBitcoinxvYeM9e

Lol that is probably not possible to create. All this processing power should be used to mine. You would spend years with a very powerful software and spend too much energy.

The smaller the faster .

I would like to know more about some characters being easier than others. How does this works Loycev? Can you tell more about it?

Nice one, how long did it take? Cheesy

It takes 25,000 years for 50% chance on my hardware, meaning I can never create another one. And that's another tip: I use a long list of prefixes, 15,000+. I have "1Newborn" on my list, the "Seat" was a coincidence.
Using a long list makes is much more likely to find at least one of the rare prefixes.

Quote from: 1miau on January 12, 2019, 03:08:11 PM

I read from LoyceV that he has a list of seldom Bitcoin vanity addresses which he is still searching. Maybe he can include your 1bitmover / 1Bitmover /1BitMover because when he runs it, vanitygen will search all keys anyways.

Added:

Code:

1Bitmover
1BitMover
1bitmover
1bitMover

Note this:

I don't run it often anymore, but eventually I'll find one. Just to show off of course, as you shouldn't trust anyone else's keys.
