Okay, thank you.

I'm not entirely sure of how this works, so you may have to explain to me as we go along

Here's the public key I've just generated: 1hueY3mDiCcof3QSeFmBk7VSHnnyXp1hJ

I have made a note of the private key.

Actually the address is not the same as the public key. (The address is a hash of the public key.) You'll need to return to bitaddress and paste the private key into the wallet details tab and look at the details. It will give you a public key that is 130 chars long (the third value down).

After I posted my suggestion I realized that in order to combine the partial private key with your private key you'd need to get the keyconv utility from the vanitygen binaries zip file here,

https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/downloads (get v0.19 not the older 0.18)

But then if you get that then why not just run the vanitygen program yourself...
To my knowledge there isn't an online way to combine keys yet. So if you still want to do this I'm game but it may not offer much benefit unless on your system vanitygen takes many days to run. In which case this will still save you lots of time.

Thanks for your offer of help on this.

All things considered, I think I will spend the time getting vanitygen to work - that way I can generate as many as I like

I'm currently searching for an address beginning with 'scott' @71 keys/second.

How long (roughly) could I be waiting for?? Cheesy

I plugged this into my vanitygen and checked: 1scott

You have a 50% chance in 38 minutes at 4.61 MKeys/s
(I didn't disable my mining so it didn't run as fast as it can, 20 MKeys/s)

So doing some math that's about 4610000/71*38 minutes or 28.5 days.
And that's 50% chance.

If you want a name you can post a public key generated on bitaddress.org (save the private key!). I can use that to generate your name in 10 minutes and send you the "partial private key" which you can combine with your private key and have a secure vanity address. I'm only offering because I'm interested in trying out this new feature (third party keys) in vanitygen.

I noticed that someone wanted case-sensitive vanity address searching. My vanity address applet now (v0.2) has such an option. It's really slow, as I'm just experimenting. Here's the bitcointalk topic.

(Notice that I specifically reference Vanitygen as a much more capable generator, so I'm not trying to steal any thunder from this mighty thread. Please leave any feedback regarding my applet on the other thread.)

case sensitive is slower than case insensitive? That sounds backwards. Do you just mean that case sensitive has a higher difficulty? Or do you mean the app is just slow in general?

Yes, I mean that case sensitive is harder than insensitive. I see how my wording was ambiguous. I think the web page explains it better. The reason is because it's harder to find an exact match (case sensitive). Also, in addition, the applet is wicked slow.

Released new version (v0.2) of the applet!

Case sensitive option
Any position option
Watch as literally dozens of addresses per second are computed!

Yes, it's still slow, but my motivation is experimentation. See the page for details.

Thanks for your interest and feedback!

Gulp!

Okay! Here's my explanation, and I'm sticking to it. We, as a community, jab members we like, Nyhm. (damn, I hope he buys this story)

Seriously, I (now we) missed it. I (not we, unless...) was looking for the address to match the company's name, hence my post. I, at no time was dissing you or your company. Just making an observation. I'm glad to read that you're a good-nature fellow. The site look swell, BTW.

~Bruno~

Oh, hey, no problem, but I do appreciate you taking the time to follow up, Phinnaeus Gage. No offense taken at all.

Nyhm is just my pseudonym I use for games and such, and nyhm.net is just my personal playground for experimenting and whatnot. I'm very open to input and discussion, and it's fine to let me know what you think. I'm excited to have some humble offering to put out there for the Bitcoin community, and maybe some will appreciate some part of it.

My motivation right now is just to tinker when I can, and get familiar with the community. Bitcoin might be the most interesting software/technology I've encountered since the Internet itself. Eventually, I could see myself focusing my entire career toward Bitcoin-related software development... but that's tomorrow. Today, my time is entirely consumed developing/releasing/operating Island Forge, which has nothing (yet?) to do with Bitcoin. (Also see my lofty-sounding Potential Games Bitcoin Initiative)... but I digress.

I'm glad to make everyone's acquaintance, and any further discussion of the vanity generator is most welcome.

Boy, did I screw up big time! I just realized that the name of your site is the same as your moniker and IS in the vanity address. My eyesight is getting worse, I believe. And my mind. Before penning my first post, I even double checked the facts: http://nyhm.net and 1NYhM2pzT6PDfZyXbyFm3dVcoob4phrGc5 have nothing in common. What a fucking idiot I am.

We forgive you, Bruno! ...as always... Roll Eyes

Thanks for having a look, everyone. This thread is pretty amusing.

Quote from: splatster on April 09, 2012, 12:01:06 PM

If you sped it up it would be great.

I'm not really motivated to make this fast. My motivation was just to experiment (mainly with the BitCoinJ lib), and my design goal was simplicity. If you want fast, there are alternatives.

Quote from: oOoOo on April 09, 2012, 03:26:00 PM

How about giving time estimates rather than things like "Hard", "brutal..."?

Because it's a random process (refer to the description for more details). You could put in a 16 character vanity word and find it in 2 seconds or 2 millennia. So, I came up with amusing names to suggest how unlikely you are to find a vanity word, based on length.

Ideally, wouldn't you preferred providing a unique vanity address, one hashed by the app?

~Bruno~

I found it humorous, too... As others pointed out, both my username and the site address match my vanity address. I actually had text on the page explaining this, but I cut it out because I thought it was obvious enough... (and I had already reached my quota of obvious statements).

Don't worry, I offer full absolution through Bitcoin donation!

1NYhM2pzT6PDfZyXbyFm3dVcoob4phrGc5 stands for:
New York helps Me to pee zebra Trees Cheesy

I can't believe you figured out exactly what that stands for.

Anyway, I didn't know if anyone else would find this useful, but I wanted to put something up, since I'm enthralled with Bitcoin (and write Java applications). Now, to figure out a way to earn some BTC to experiment with...

Thanks for welcoming me to the community, by the way! I hope to have time to tinker with Bitcoin some more some day.

Look at his username.

You guys wanted so much to make fun of him that you ended up ridiculing yourselves...

That still doesn't explain why he pees zebra trees.

That would imply that I have any modesty. I lost that sensibility years ago and feel much better without it. Besides, it wasn't ridicule I was displaying, but my incredible thesaurusless vocabulary. Cheesy
